Father’s Day, the annual celebration of dads everywhere is just a few days away. Each year on the third Sunday in June is the day dedicated to showing your appreciation for your father. The concept for the holiday was founded in 1910, but was not issued a presidential proclamation until 1966. Father’s Day became a permanent national holiday six year later in 1972.
Father’s Day has spread to many countries throughout the world and varies in celebratory customs. In the United States, the holiday is generally associated with giving your father a gift to show your appreciation and gathering for a meal.
