We celebrated Father's Day last weekend because we couldn't all go and see my dad today!

I can understand the people who think that Father's Day, and Mother's Day, are really commercial, but for us it's an excuse to do something for our parents - if there isn't a "reason" for us to do something for them they kind of try to stop us, and tell us to keep our money or not worry about it. Father's Day makes it easier for my dad to accept us doing things for him, so we all enjoy it. It also encourages the whole family to get together for the day, which as we don't live very close to each other is always a good thing.
