FATHER'S DAY



Father's Day is a day honnoring fathers. (This day is the complement of Mother's Day). It is celebrated the third Sunday of June in 52 of the world's countries (like England) and on other days elsewhere.
If you live in Spain you'll celebrate it the 19th of March every year; it doesn't really matter if it is Sunday or Tuesday! In Australia, for example, it is celebrated the first Sunday of September...
The celebration involves gift-giving, special dinners to fathers and family oriented activities.

Anyway, Father's Day festival has been commercialized in most part of the countries to great extent. Days and weeks before the festivals we are witness of an aggressive advertisement campaigns to cash in the sentimental value of the festivity.
