National Sons Day: A Guide for Businesses

National Sons Day is celebrated on September 28th (and sometimes on March 4th) as a special day to appreciate the bond between parents and their sons. The exact origin of National Sons Day is unknown, but it is thought to have originated in the United States in the early 1990s.

One of the first mentions of National Sons Day was in a 1992 article in the Chicago Tribune. The article said that the day was being created to "honor the special bond between fathers and sons."

In 1994, the National Sons Day Foundation was founded. The foundation's mission is to "celebrate the importance of sons in our lives and to promote positive father-son relationships."

National Sons Day is not a federal holiday, but it is celebrated by many people around the world. There are no specific traditions or customs associated with the day, but some people choose to spend time with their sons, do activities together, or give them gifts.

Here are some ideas for how to celebrate National Sons Day:

• Take your son out to lunch or dinner.

• Go to a sporting event or concert together.

• Play a game or do an activity that you both enjoy.

• Give your son a gift, such as a book, toy, or video game.

• Write your son a letter or poem expressing your love and appreciation.

• Simply spend some quality time with your son and let him know how much you love and appreciate him.

Regardless of how you choose to celebrate National Sons Day, the most important thing is to show your son how much you love and care for him.
