Oh, happy day! One of my favorite holiday's in the year is Father's Day. I really don't know why but I think that the reason is mostly the fact that my dad is just awesome and I get a full day to show my appreciation towards what he does for me on a daily basis. And my dad is easy to shop for, so watching him open the AMAZING gifts my mom and I got for him is fun, too.
This year my dad got:
-A six-pack of his favorite beer, Guinness Extra Stout (tradition- I get this for him every year, it's the one thing I know he will absolutely love)
-A super-huge, three pound container of Planter's Cocktail Peanuts (again, tradition- it goes with beer perfectly)
-A fifth of Bacardi Light Rum (gotta have the rounded booze effect)
-A four-pack of Guinness Extra Stout 16 oz. glasses (made directly from the company- can you say authentic?)
-A three CD pack (The Essential Janis Joplin-Limited Edition; beer+booze+OUTSTANDING tunes=one great Father's Day)
-Festival Express DVD (a two-disc documentary of the train trip across Canada with Janis Joplin, The Band, and The Grateful Dead- my dad's personal favorite band and MORE Janis)
-A Simpsons Talking Card from Me ( Front of Card: Homer and Lisa "Being a dad is a big responsibility. You have to know what's what..." Inside of Card: Homer: "Doughnut?" Lisa: "No, thanks. Do you have any fruit?" Homer: "This has purple stuff inside. Purple is a fruit." -- 'And what can sort of pass as what.')
-And a motion card from Mom (Front of Card: Pic of a Male Animated Cat "You're a wonderful Husband, a great Father, and a Kind, Intelligent Man. What else can I say? Except maybe..." Inside of card: Pic of a Female Animated Cat jumping at the Male Animated Cat "Hubba, Hubba!"
I made my dad open them up at about 12:15 a.m. yesterday morning because he had to work today. He loved it, of course. I love my father and love it even more when he knows that I appreciate all the things he does for me and my mom.

Haha, love all the liquor! I got my dad a bunch of grilling supply stuff then he grilled and we watched VH1 all day. Lol good times. Sounds like yours was way better
ReplyDeleteI always make people open my gifts to them WAY early. The past two years on Christmas, my dad worked late and didn't get home until around twelve-thirty Christmas morning. We opened gifts around one in the morning and did that again the next year. I'm a very impatient person...
