We probably all know about International Women's Day, right? But did you know that tomorrow is International Men’s Day? I think it's a great idea. It gives us a chance to think about and honor all the good men in our lives.
International Men's Day is fairly new. It started in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago. While the main purpose was to focus on male health, the holiday has grown to include aspects like demonstrating how men are positive role models, and improving gender relations and equality.
International Men's Day is celebrated in over 60 countries. Join the celebration by honoring the contributions men and boys make to their families and friends, their homes and workplaces, and their countries:
- Find a celebration near you. IMD celebrations range from cookouts to sporting events and everything in between.
- Pick out something he'll like and surprise him by leaving it in his man cave. (Chances are he won't even know it's IMD!)
- Take them out to dinner, or better yet, cook up a feast fit for a king!
Whatever you do on November 19, just remember to show the men and boys in your life how much they mean to you.
Your "What A Man!" Gift Guru,
Linda
