  Father's Day isn't just a day for Dads to get more ties. It's celebrated on the third Sunday of June to honor Dads, Grandfathers, stepfathers and all men who act as a father figure. Like most holidays, the origin of Father's Day is hard to trace (追溯)but most people will agree that Sonora Dodd played a big part in starting the holiday.

  Sonora Luise Smart Dodd brought up the idea of a father's day in 1909. she wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. When Sonora's mother died in childbirth with her sixth child, William was left to raise the newborn and five other children by himself on a farm in Washington State. As an adult, Sonora realized how strong and unselfish her dad was, who had been raising his kids as a single parent.

  Sonora wanted Father's Day to be celebrated on the first Sunday in June, because it was close to her dad's birthday. Instead, the first Father's Day celebration took place on June 19,1910 in Spokane, Washing. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made the third Sunday of June Father's Day. It wasn't until 1972 that President Richard Nixon made Father's Day a national holiday-about 60 years after Mother's Day had been made a national holiday.

  Looking for the perfect gift, Dads say some of the best Father's Day gifts have been tools, electronics and home-made gifts. Don't forget about gadgets(小器具)! Check out the handy gadgets and gifted ideas that will show your dad just how much you care about him. Try to stay away from ties, socks, and just not getting him anything at all!
