How To Make Father"s Day Special
Father's Day is coming quickly, what are your plans? Father's Day isn't just another day to celebrate.
It is a day to celebrate someone important to your life, important to your childhood, and important to your (future) children.
A father, whether it be a biological father or simply someone who helped raise you, should be celebrated every day of the year.
However, on this holiday, it is important to go the extra mile in preparation, love, and gift giving.
It is important for them to know you care about them and remember what they have done for you.
Make the day special for everyone.
Plan a fun day with the entire family.
Picnics, barbecues, games, or even travelling to somewhere near are great choices.
The point of this is to laugh and share great moments together.
A good way to master the art of laughter and fun is to cook your father's favorite meal, play family games together, or even go to a ballgame together.
Do something you know he'll enjoy.
Spend the weekend together.
If at all possible, try to stretch out the holiday to include both Saturday and Sunday.
This makes it easier to both have a barbecue together and travel together.
I know, I know.
Sometimes it is hard to do things with little ones around.
However, if you have other family members with children, this goes a lot smoother than expected and will definitely be fun for everyone.
Show your love.
Dad needs love too! Just like any other person, he needs to feel affection from his children.
Whether it is by hugs, hand shakes, or simple words, he needs to know that he is appreciated.
Even though showing up for Father's Day is a great start, go the extra mile and show how much he has meant to your life.
Gift Giving The gift doesn't have to be anything expensive or big.
It should just be something given from the heart.
It should be meaningful.
Of course, if it's not meaningful it should at least be funny.
A used pair of socks with holes in them always make for a great Father's Day gift, even better if they are wrapped and stinky.
Father's Day is a once in a year event.
Why not make the most out of it? Prepare, love, and give gifts.
Even if you aren't near, at least give him a call to know you are thinking of him.
