Fathers Day gift and global honoring of dad traditions
A look at Father’s Day as a gift giving date with the dad role described in many terms. It notes the holiday’s U S origins in 1910, its spread to 37 countries, and varied customs from chairs to ancestral rituals. It also discusses how fathers are named in different languages and how the day ranks in card sending versus gifts. It ends with a quotation on fathers’ roles and a Wilde reference.
