How To Celebrate Father's Day
1. Pamper him with whatever culinary ceremonies he enjoys most, whether it's
breakfast in bed, a burgers-and-beer lunch at the local sports bar, dinner at
his favorite four-star restaurant, or all of the above. (After all, Father's
Day comes but once a year.)
2. Eschew the ties, shirts, golf balls and best-selling thrillers. Instead give
him something you know he'd love but isn't likely to buy for himself: perhaps
Ella Fitzgerald's songbook collection on CD, a drawing he's been admiring in a
local gallery, or an autographed photo of his childhood baseball hero.
3. Look for clues. If he keeps saying he wishes he'd practiced the piano when
his mother told him to, sign him up for lessons. If he reads every issue of
"Gourmet" Magazine cover to cover, give him a gift certificate for a cooking
course, in France, Italy or Switzerland, if you're feeling flush.
4. Give him the ultimate gift: your time. Present him with a gift certificate
announcing the plan: dinner and a ball game, a day at the beach, a weekend
jaunt to the PGA tournament, a camping trip in the Rockies, or simply an
afternoon of side-by-side digging in the garden.
5. Make him a scrapbook commemorating "Life With Father" over the past year. Or
go all out and make a scrapbook, or a series of them, covering your whole life
together.
6. Honor your father's memory if he's no longer living. Send a donation to his
favorite charity, or lend a hand to a cause he cared about.
7. Remember, you needn't limit Father's Day to your biological dad. Do
something nice for all the father figures in your life, whether grandfathers,
stepfathers, uncles, godfathers, big brothers or that first boss who helped you
launch your career.
