The idea of father's day came to Finland from the United States in the 1950's. It is celebrated on the second Sunday of November in Finland and is an official flag-raising day. Father's day in Finland is not much different from mother's day; father's get gifts and cards by the rest of the family. It is a day for the kids to thank their father figures and send across the message of love, affection and appreciation in the form of gifts and through cards and homemade crafts. It is a day for the entire family to take part in and enjoy. In Finland, Father's Day is a day to strengthen the bonding not only between fathers and kids, but between all the members of the family. Here is how they celebrate father's day in Finland.
