  It’s the holiday that comes to you with a pipe, a cardigan and a stern but loving smile:
  Father’s Day. Father’s day is a time for everyone to show a little love for their old man.
  After all, how can we not have a soft spot for the one person in our life from whom we
  learned carpentry, home maintenance and repair, auto mechanics, and in the process
  plenty of profanity as well? Father’s Day is celebrated on differing days throughout the
  world, in the US it is scheduled for the third Sunday of June. Although the clichéd gift of
  choice for Father’s Day is a tie, many people also choose to send a greeting, a poem or
  piece of craftwork; other popular items include light-hearted or funny Father’s Day cards.
  To top it off, one of the best ways to make dads feel special on Father’s day is to pretend
  like you’re as interested in stock car racing or the PGA tour as they are.

  The push for a nationwide Father’s Day began in 1910, after the first Father’s Day
  celebration in Spokane, Washington. Inspired by similar efforts to make Mother’s Day
  a national holiday, Father’s Day advocates took to the streets, making the case for their
  holiday and in some cases telling people that if they didn’t support the holiday they
  would be grounded. While their campaign attracted attention from the likes of Woodrow
  Wilson, it wasn’t officially recognized as a holiday until the presidency of Richard
  Nixon, who after all was the father of the Watergate scandal. Ever since, the day has been
  a time for people around the nation to come to papa, with card sales and long distance
  calls exploding - especially collect calls, since our pops have taught us to be thrifty. And
  while the dads of the world may be known for their crustiness, they’re still loveable in
  a Rip Torn sort of way. Why not let them know you’re thinking of them with a Father’s
  Day greeting card or a card with Father’s Day sayings? Because deep within that salty
  exterior there’s a loveable spirit that even the best car accessory or new electronic gizmo
  can’t cover.

  HolidaySmart.com describes this holiday as:
  "Paul Bunyan day is an American Folklore celebration. Celebrated on different days in different areas of the U.S.

  "The legend of Paul Bunyan started with stories told by men in lumber camps, dating from the 1800's and was believed to have originated among French Canadians during the Papineau rebellion of 1837.

  "Paul Bunyan became a legend as tales of this giant lumberjack who performed incredible feats spread. Some of these tales include: he scooped out the Great Lakes to get water for his blue ox, Babe; he cleared the entire states of North and South Dakota for farming; he trained ants to do logging work; and he is even credited with creating logging in the U.S."

  We found it to be a fun holiday to include!
