Father's Day
The idea for Father's Day originated in 1910 in the United States. A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd wanted to pay tribute to her father who had raised seven children after her mother died in childbirth alone. She wanted to pay tribute to her father, a veteran of the American Civil War.
From the moment the idea was born, a struggle begins that was not realized until 1966 and the first Father's Day was officially celebrated. President Lyndon Johnson made Father's Day a holiday in the United States in 1963, and since then the day always falls on the third Sunday in June in the United States.
In Sweden, Father's Day was added after the American model during the 1930s. Many traditions are gathered around the celebration of this day, but let us not forget the most important thing, which is to make dad feel more special than ever.
If you are far away, the means of communication are no longer an obstacle, a video call or a phone call will always be comforting and will make Dad feel closer to you. If you are lucky enough to live close to him, your presence will always be his best gift.
In Sweden, we celebrate Father's Day on the second Sunday in November. This year it falls on Sunday 12th November. Why not celebrate with coffee and his favorite cake?
