Leave a Comment / Gift Suggestions / Admin

Nevertheless, in some countries the day of observance varies. In Austria and Belgium it’s celebrated on the 2^nd Sunday of June; in El Salvador and Guatemala on June 17^th; in Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Uganda on June 21^st; and in Poland and Nicaragua on June 23^rd. But no matter you observe Father’s Day, don’t forget to make this day special for your dear father! Here are some of creative ideas on how to show your Dad you care.

Prepare a breakfast for your dad

Start your father’s day with a breakfast in bed; that’s something no one can resist. Bringing him a morning newspaper he usually reads, making his favorite breakfast foods, and making coffee just the way he likes it is a good way to start his special day on a positive note.

Make it a family event

How often does your dad get to see his adult children and other relatives all together? Father’s Day is a family holiday, so you can use it as a chance to gather the whole family together for a fun day. Inviting all the male population of the family like husbands, future dads, step-fathers, uncles, and brothers – as well all their spouses and children – is a good idea for making Father’s day an extra special event.

Organize the activity your dad enjoys the most

Regardless of your dad’s hobby, you can always share it and organize a special activity he’s sure to enjoy. You can go fishing, play golf or tennis together, go to a football match, enjoy a family picnic in the park or beach, or make a barbecue on the backyard of your house. No matter what you prefer, remember that it’s your care and effort your dad appreciates the most!

Be creative

When preparing a gift for Father’s Day, let your own creative abilities shine and make him something special: bake a cake, cook his favorite dish, write a poem, make a handmade card or photo album. Even if you don’t have the time to put together a handmade gift, you can always give your dad a gorgeous Father’s Day gift basket filled with his favorite beers, snacks, and other treats he adores. Though shy to admit it, men love flowers no less than women, so giving your dad a bouquet of Father’s Day Flowers is a nice gesture that is sure to put a smile on his face, no matter what.

Be thoughtful and loving

Being a father is a tough job. Be sure to show your dad how much you love and respect him. Reassure your dad that you’re proud of him and all he’s done for you. For many fathers, the most rewarding part of paternity is feeling that your children support and love you.

The best advice is to use your imagination and your heart; you know your dad best, and any gift you put thought, effort, and love into is sure to make his day.

Easter is one of the most significant festivals in the Christian calendar. It is celebrated across the world with great pomp and show on the first Sunday after the 14th day of the new moon, usually falling between March 22 and April 25. There are a few things, such as Easter eggs, Easter bunnies, spring flowers, and chocolates that are common to Easter celebrations worldwide. Yet, we can see many interesting local customs and traditions during the Easter festival in different countries.
Easter in US
Easter is one of the most popular festivals across the United States. Though Easter has a religious background, it has assumed more of a secular character over time. In New Orleans, an annual Easter carnival is held with a parade, jazz music, and a bumper party. A most popular Easter game for kids is the Easter egg roll. Painting the Easter eggs and conducting Easter games for kids is what many American parents are busy with during the Easter week. Traditional American Easter food include baked ham, potatoes, vegetables, and hot cross buns.

Easter in England
The name Easter comes from ‘Oestre,’ the Anglo-Saxon goddess of fertility and springtime. Easter in England is celebrated through the exchange of Easter Eggs and other Easter gifts like clothes, chocolates, or holiday packages. Easter bonnets or baskets filled with daffodils or mini eggs are also very popular gifts in England. Hot-cross buns, sweet fruit buns with icing crosses on top, are one of the most popular foods on Good Friday.

Easter in Germany
Easter In Germany, also known as Ostern, is mostly enjoyed by children who have about three weeks off for the Easter holiday. Good Friday, Easter Saturday, and Easter Sunday are three official holidays when everyone in the country stays off work. On Easter Saturday evening there is often a big Easter bonfire, a symbol of the end of the winter and bad luck, which is very popular with Germans. On Easter Sunday, children get a holiday surprise from their parents who hide Easter baskets full of sweets, eggs, and small gifts for them to find. Hand-painted eggs decorated with traditional ornaments are also exchanged among friends.

Easter in Mexico
Semana Santa (Holy Week ) and Semana de Pascua (from Palm Sunday to Easter Saturday )are two separate observances that form a significant part of Easter celebrations in Mexico. The holiday begins with the Carnival festival which culminates in a huge parade before Ash Wednesday that features floats, costumes, street performances, and traditional foods. Easter in Mexico is not celebrated like in other countries with bunnies and jelly beans, Mexicans prefer to take a vacation instead. Since all Roman Catholics are expected to attend mass services and take Holy Communion to mark the holiday, all the churches throughout Mexico are also full of people during Easter time.
