Father's Day is celebrated to thank fathers and express gratitude (感激) for their love. In Canada, it is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. People wear roses to express thanks and love for their fathers. This is also a time for a family reunion (团聚), because children often stay away from their family and this is a good time for them to get together with their fathers and other loved ones. But in Australia, it is celebrated on the first Sunday in September. The day is celebrated only in families. A rich breakfast for families is a good way to celebrate Father's Day. In Thailand, Father's Day falls on December 5 every year. All the people have a one-day holiday.
