Father’s Day

Father's Day is a festival to honor your father for everything he did for you. This festival is celebrated with immense enthusiasm across the globe.

The date and style of celebrating this festival differs from country to country but one thing that remains noticeably same is the spirit of this occasion. Everybody takes the opportunity to honor their father and tell them how much they are loved and appreciated.

People start the preparation of Father's Days in advance. Some prepare beautiful hand made cards with inspirational quotations to express their love towards their dearest dad. Those who stay away from their father feel like spending that day with their dad. Hence, Father's Day can also be termed as an occasion for reunion.

Generally, children present a bouquet of fresh flowers, a greeting card, a gift hamper, etc to their father. This can be made better by accompanying with his favorite breakfast, lunch or dinner. After such a beautiful start of the day, children usually spend a full day with dad by going out for a picnic or for a treat in a restaurant. Some people also like to throw a great party on Father's Day and invite friends and relatives on this auspicious day.

Those who stay at home with their father try to assist them by completing pending works. To many children, this is the most special way of expressing affection for dad on Father's Day and to let him know how that everything he does for the family is appreciated from the core of the heart.

父亲节
父亲节是一个纪念父亲为你所做的一切的节日。全世界的人们都以极大的热情庆祝这一节日。
庆祝这个节日的日期和方式因国而异，但有一点明显是一臻的：这一节日的精神。每个人都借此机会向他们的父亲表示敬意，并表达对他们的爱和感激。
人们提前开始为父亲节做准备。有些人准备了漂亮的自制卡片，上面写有感人的话语，表达他们对最亲爱的爸爸的爱。那些不在父亲身边的人则喜欢和父亲一起度过这一天。因此，父亲节也可以被称为团聚的日子。
通常，孩子们会向父亲赠送一束鲜花、一张贺卡或一个礼品篮等。更好的做法是奉上他最喜欢的早餐、午餐或晚餐。如此开始美好的一天，接下来孩子们通常会和爸爸一起度过一整天，出去野餐或在餐馆进餐。有些人也喜欢在父亲节举办盛大的聚会，在这个吉祥的日子邀请亲朋好友一起。
有些人会和父亲呆在家里，和父亲一起完成待完成的工作。对许多孩子来说，这是在父亲节表达对父亲的爱的最特别的方式，让父亲知道他们发自内心地感激父亲为家庭所做的一切。
