The Dad in our household always says that Father's Day is not viewed as important as Mother's Day, judging from the fact that reservations for brunch has to be made weeks or sometimes months ahead of time, as well as paying dearly for flowers that seem be a "standard" Mom's day gift. I particularly have a rule at home not to give me flowers for this very reason, but I will not pass up a brunch with the family. My mother -in-law who is now in a senior home and cannot really get out, deserves to get the flowers.
Anyway, going back to Father's Day...yes, it seems that all these holidays have been concocted by the greeting card companies to keep their business going year-round. Well, I still have to say, taking a day to acknowledge and appreciate what we have in life, like our Moms and Dads who love us, is a worthwhile purpose. And one doesn't have to spend money to get the job done, either. You can make a home-made card, send a letter, make breakfast, wash the car, call, or give Mom or Dad twenty big hugs and kisses and tell them how much you love them..... now that is priceless.
