Father's Day festival is celebrated in several countries around the
world to honor fathers and express gratitude for them. People celebrate
the occasion by gifting cards, flowers and thoughtful gifts to their
dear daddy. These days, people also wish “Happy Father's Day”
to their stepfather, grandfather, father-in-law, uncles or any other man
who is as protective and caring as a father.
The idea of celebrating Father's Day festival was given in 1909 by Ms
Sonora Louise Smart Dodd, a loving daughter from Spokane USA. Sonora,
who was very much attached to her father Mr William Jackson Smart, a
Civil War veteran, felt that if there is a day to honor mother then
there should also be a day to honor father. Sonora struggled
relentlessly to make the idea a reality. Finally, in 1972, President
Richard Nixon made Father's Day a national observance. Today, Father's
Day is celebrated in several countries across the globe. Though the date
and manner of celebration differ, every where people take opportunity of
the day to honor their father and express love for them.
