FATHER'S DAY / 18JUNE |
FATHER'S DAY, is really quite a new occassion, only becoming an official national holiday by an Act of U.S. Congress in 1972.
During the Vcitorian era, for most families, the commanding presence of "Father" dictated that everyday is Father's Day.
Fathers want excatly the same thing that mothers do. Acknowledgements fo their efforts on behalf of the family and recognition by the family of the father's role, whatever that is these days.
