Fathers Day, how much Americans spend on this day

Father's Day, an occasion to honor the contributions of fathers to family and society, is celebrated every year on the third Sunday in June.

Families usually celebrate this day with gifts and lunches for fathers. Economists say Americans spend more than $ 1 billion each year on Father's Day gifts.

This holiday originated on July 5, 1908 when a church in West Virginia held a ceremony in memory of the 362 men who had died a year earlier from an explosion in the coal mines.

During the 1920s and 1930s, there were attempts to combine Father's Day and Mother's Day into a single holiday that would be called Parents' Day. But then World War II broke out, and the celebration of Father's Day became commonplace as a way of honoring troops serving the country. For this reason, this day remained a national institution.
