Today's post is for all the fathers out there,I would dedicate it to my dad,but I'm relatively sure since he died in 1961 that he isn't checking Facebook or the internet for messages from me.
A few fun facts about your special day:
George Washington,the father of our country (USA) never had children.
The first Father's Day was celebrated June 19th,1910,but it wasn't an official holiday until 1966 when Lyndon Johnson signed a proclamation.
According to Hallmark Father's Day is the fifth largest card sending holiday.
In Germany Father's Day (Mannertag) is celebrated by getting drunk with beer and indulging in regional food.
The rose is the official Father's Day flower. Wearing a red rose signifies a living father,while a white rose represents a deceased father.
Ties are the most popular gift given on Father's Day.
Now I am curious how many fathers will ask for a trip to Germany for next Father's Day!
