Happy Father’s Day!

June 15, 2014

father'sdayHappy Father’s Day to those of you who are dads, or are dad figures.

I just looked up Father’s Day and was (sort of) surprised to see that it was “invented” after Mother’s Day, so that fathers could get the recognition they so rightly deserve. Mother’s Day was made official in 1914, however it took many years to finally get Father’s Day signed in as a law  – 1972.

Fathers everywhere should enjoy the third Sunday of every June, (along with the other 364 days of the year!)

Happy Father’s Day!

(Oh, and seeing that this is the Cozy Mystery site, in case you are interested in reading a Father’s Day mystery, here is the link to the Father’s Day theme mystery list.

    Not Father’s Day, per se, but there’s the Stay At Home Dad series by Jeffrey Allen that deserves a mention today! (Just read two of them yesterday in honor of the occasion 😉

      Stash Empress, I’m glad you brought up Jeffrey Allen’s Stay at Home Dad Mystery Series. I just checked the Father’s Day mystery book list, and see he’s not on it. I wonder if I should add him with an “*”…

    In Germany, this year’s Father’s Day was on 29th May. It’s always on Ascension Day and as a rule all-male groups go for trips where they often drink lots and lots of alcohol (see Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_Day#Germany), leaving the rest of the family to their own devices. My father or ex never did that though. I can’t remember anything about presents, however small, or anything else to honour fathers in all my 45 years. Unfortunately I also can’t remember any Father’s Day themed mysteries either.

    In Australia, Father’s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in September. It’s pretty common for presents to be given, or to do something special for your father.

    I’ve never read a Father’s Day themed mystery.

      Anita, Australia (and Germany) celebrating Father’s Day in September would take some getting used to for me. When I was young, we lived in Santiago, Chile for four years. I remember how topsy-turvy it seemed to celebrate Christmas during the summer.
