This past Sunday was Father’s Day.
It’s a much bigger holiday in the US than here in Japan. There is Father’s day here though it’s not such a big holiday. It’s the same in Korea, but there is only one holiday for both parents called, oddly enough, Parents’ Day. It’s sort of a big deal, but not as big a deal as Children’s Day in Korea.
Anyway, we celebrated Father’s Day sort of. I didn’t really mention it to my sons because it feels strange to teach them about a holiday that means they need to treat me specially or get or make me a gift.
They didn’t remember that in the past we usually call Grandpa to wish him a happy Father’s Day either.
At church though it was a major part of the service and part of the kids’ activity as well.
<sigh> the traditional gift loved/hated by all fathers? a necktie. Even better? A handmade one 😉
So, I got my first Father’s day presents. Here’s a picture of my first presents:
