Father's Day is on the third Sunday in June.

In 2011 Father's Day is June 10, in 2012 it's June 17.

Father's Day is an unofficial holiday to celebrate fathers around the world - although the date in many countries is different. It's an emerging holiday as it's celebrated in more and more countries nowadays as fathers are more and more involved in raising children and are recognized for their efforts.

Like many other holidays, however, this holiday has lost its meaning over the years and among the myriad of ads leading up to the 3rd Sunday each year. Online and offline we are bombarded by special offers to buy a smart phone, home theater system, gift cards, golf clubs or clothing for our fathers. It's a highly commercialized holiday - just like other holidays.

I'd like to encourage you all forget gift cards, leather wallets and greeting cards that cost $6. Spend time with your father. It's free. Take a walk. Talk. Reminisce. Tell him you love him. As years go by both you will fondly remember the great times you spent together on father's days, long after the gift card is forgotten.

What a clichéd sentence. How true. Cheers to you, daddies!
