Father's Day is a very new festival in British compared with Mother's Day, which has been a very popular festival in the UK for a long time.
Father's Day started in America in the world. Once there was a man called William Smith, whose wife died and he had to raise (供养) six children by himself. His daughter thought when she grew up what her father had done for them. So she thought that there should be a Father's Day. Later, the festival was born, falling on the third Sunday every June.
Britain took the idea of Father's Day from the USA. What do British people do for Father's Day? Well, most people would buy cards for their fathers. The card would have a nice message in it. Some people do buy presents as well. Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can always use even if (即使) they don't want them.
As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of rest—make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car to make him feel really relaxed.
The Americans first had Father's Day in the world.
