Father's Day: Cards
built 188 days ago
About 4,000 years ago a young boy named Elmusu wished his Babylonian father good health and a long life by carving a Father's Day message on a card made out of clay. No one knows what happened to Elmesu or his father, but the tradition of having a special day honoring fathers has continued through the years in countries across the world.

June brings sunshine, summer and aisles upon aisles filled with Father's Day cards. The cards appear quickly and with a vengeance, encroaching on the wedding and birthday cards that make up the bulk of the average store's stock. But they disappear almost as quickly, and woe be the person that shows up the Saturday prior to Father's Day, as the pickings will be mighty slim.
