Hi.

I got three things. In this order. The first two at essentially the same time & the third about 3 minutes later.

1: a box of chocolates

2: a bag of fancy sweets

3: a comment - “Oh, wait, I’ve made a mistake. Father’s Day is next weekend.”

Don't worry, just send more next week.

I got a Fender Player HH Telecaster in January, which likely counts as Father's Day, Wedding Anniversary, Birthday, and Christmas gift 2022 all wrapped up in one. And I'll be satisfied.

I might get some more argyle socks from my younger son and his wife next week.

You threw me with that title, I thought I lost track of the calendar again and was hoping it was this weekend....I have the holiday off on the day after.

Damn, I have to work tomorrow after-all.

Same thing I got for mothers day

We've had our Father's day in May and its hardly ever got something to do with boxes of chocolate.

Father's Day in Germany in 2023 | Office Holidays

Read about Father's Day in Germany in 2023. In Germany, Father’s Day is celebrated on Ascension Day, the 40th day of Easter, which is a public holiday in Germany.

edit: "A custom on Father's Day is that men will go out for hikes taking some wagons with them. This might sound like a healthy pastime, but the wagons are loaded with beer, wine and food to 'sustain' the men on their hike. The beer and wine supplies are fully depleted before the hike is over.


Getting drunk seems to be an important part of the celebrations and according to the Federal Statistical Office of Germany, alcohol-related accidents multiply by three on this day."
well, slightly exaggerated

Are you from the future?

No, but the past can't be planned.

I got two uncaring, thoughtless kids.

Oh wait, it’s next weekend, is it?

My kids are the best!
(But stay tuned.)

 

[Colo Springs E]

Um not father's day yet.

 

[jays0n]

I’ll get what I have now probably. I think the wife n kids have erased the day from all the calendars in the house and avoid any conversation leaning that way.

 

[Kandinskyesque]

Everyday is father's day for me.
Tomorrow I expect some contempt, beaten to the bathroom door first thing and my morning fragrance critiqued.
Just like every day.

 

[P Thought]

Had me going for a minute! It's always a pretty low-key thing around here, we're not much for presents, but I usually get three or four calls.

I'll be happy just knowing I raised a great kid - even if the kid ends up too busy with work to message me next week.

Other than that, I expect, and will likely receive, nothing. Such is life.

Hi.

Oh yeah, it's a holiday, rather than a 3rd(?) Sunday thing in the States, right? Or, is it the next Monday becomes a holiday?

Sorry about that.
