Father's Day Dates
August 22nd 2007 00:40
No, not the day you send your father out to hook up, although for some of you out there maybe that really is the case, and could be the gift he's been looking for afterall.
But what I'm talking about here is the more socially accepted day on which father's are celebrated. Here in the great land of Aus, Father's Day is traditionally celebrated on the 1st Sunday in September.
However in places like the UK and USA it is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June, while in Norway and Scandinavia is occurs on the 2nd Sunday in November.
This all poses an interesting point in time. As many of you would be well aware, we are moving from sunny Sydney to the UK at the end of this month.
As we will be in the UK just before our normal Australian Father's Day, we won't have celebrated it here, and yet in the UK it doesn't happen for another 9 months, so do we celebrate it or not after having just arrived there?

I say celebrate it twice, as Dad's rarely if ever get enough credit! I think your Dad would not only agree but be truly delighted to have two Father's Day celebrations!
Take care,
