No one looks forward to Father's Day more than fathers themselves.

But,
hey—can we blame them? It's a day thats alllll about them, and gives
them the excuse to finally kick back, relax, and enjoy those warm days
leading up to the summer season. But before we can even think about the
loving Father's Day messages that we'll dedicate to Dad, or even plan any
fun Father's Day activities—we should probably be certain of
exactly when the holiday is! The date does change every year, so we
understand why it can get a little confusing.

If you want a quick reminder of the date while also learning some cool
and interesting facts about the holiday, you've come to the right place!
For instance, did you know that last year marked the 50th year that
Father's Day was recognized as a national holiday? That's amazing,
right? Just consider how much our dads do for us: You might call him a
protector, inspiration, confidante—even a comic. (How could we forget
about all those dad jokes? 😂)

And of course, there are several ways to show Dad you care! If the
wonderful father in your life is anything like Ree Drummond's husband,
Ladd, they'll be happy with a home-cooked Father's Day dinner. You
know what they say, the best way to a man's heart is through his
stomach! "He honestly would rather have a plate of delicious food than
any material possession in the world," Ree says.
