2020: A Father\u2019s Day Like No Other<\/h1>\n2020: A Father\u2019s Day Like No Other<\/h1>\n<\/p>\n
The current global pandemic has flipped the world as we know it on its head. In one way or another, it has affected every one of us. Businesses are having to restructure, just as families are having to readjust to these strange conditions. Things this year will undoubtedly look vastly different from years past\u2014including the upcoming Father\u2019s Day holiday. A day that would normally consist of family gatherings and personal interactions may not be possible this year but there are still plenty of ways to make Dad feel special in 2020.<\/p>\n
Maybe now is the time to catch up on your IT skills or teach some new skills to Dad? Social media sites are great platforms to stay connected with family members so why not set up Dad with his own page or even teach him how to use the Zoom platform for great face-to-face interaction. This service allows you to join in with others virtually, doing anything your heart desires. Rachel Ray just hosted a \u201cCook-along\u201d from her actual kitchen! Who knew?<\/p>\n
If Dad\u2019s not into that type of thing, it\u2019s still possible to teach the old dog a new trick. Find out what things interest him the most (you probably already know!) and introduce him to the world of online learning. MasterClass offers tutorials for nearly anything. Would Dad like to learn to cook with a famous chef or maybe learn more about his favorite hobby?<\/p>\n
If you can\u2019t be with Dad this year there are still ways to experience a fun outing with him. Many organizations are now offering virtual tours so elaborate, it may well feel like actually being there. Visit the Grand Canyon, an ocean, or a museum together from your computers.<\/p>\n
If you are lucky enough to be able to spend time with Dad this Father\u2019s Day IRL (in real life\u2014see, you just learned a techie term!), make it a day with no destination. Let Dad lounge all day in his pajamas or tan under the sun and pretend to be his own personal assistant. Chances are, he hasn\u2019t had someone serve him in quite awhile.<\/p>\n
Have a seat and reminisce about days past. Let him tell you his stories you\u2019ve heard 1000 times. My dad just passed in January and I only wish I had the chance to hear those stories again. Break out the old pictures or if you live close enough, take a drive together through your old neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Play with Dad like you did as a kid. Why not grab that dusty deck of cards for a game of Rummy (my own father\u2019s personal favorite) or opt for a game of old-school Dominos?<\/p>\n
Is Dad missing his sports? Depending on dad\u2019s agility, maybe he\u2019d like to play in his own family flag football game? If that\u2019s too steep, why not relax on the couch and watch a fun sports movie like Major League or Miracle? Or maybe Covid-inspired Groundhog Day?<\/p>\n
Food is alway a hit with Dad. Man the grill for him or have an ice cream social at home. Fill the countertops with various toppings and whip up a batch of homemade ice cream.<\/p>\n
No matter if you are able to spend this Father\u2019s Day with Dad IRL or not, nothing is better than saying \u201cThank you Dad, I love you.\u201d No matter how old you both are. Don\u2019t skip this…you never know when you won\u2019t be able to tell him…virtually or personally. Sure wish I could. Have a safe and happy Father\u2019s Day ya\u2019ll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
