Father's Day

Hello! I am Sandra, and I am going to talk about father’s day in Spain. Here we celebrate “San Jose” or father’s day on March 19th, but I know that in Sweden, Estonia, Finland and Norway it’s celebrated on the second Sunday of November. It is a celebration that changes according to the country.

Father’s Day is a bank holiday and is celebrated by families. Here it is typical to give your father a present and spend the day with him. The typical presents are after shave, clothes, watches, etc. Younger children usually make drawings for their fathers in school. Also, small children make cards and sometimes objects in clay. It is usual to celebrate with a cake after lunch.

It is a special day when you have a holiday and you don’t go to school or to work. I like this day because some families spend time together and celebrate.

What do you do that day?
