Great Christmas Music

This is a great Christmas CD to listen to to get into the Christmas mood. It includes many of the popular songs included in the well-known Charlie Brown cartoons. I have been listening to it so much that I almost have it memorized! Jazz is usually not my thing, but love how it sounds on a piano!

When Did Americans Begin To Celebrate Father's Day?

People in Spokane, Washington, celebrated the first Father's Day in 1910. Louise Dodd, who lived in Spokane, thought that fathers should be honored with a special day that would bring father and children closer together. She talked to her minister about it. Then she, a few other ministers, and the YMCA persuaded people to celebrate Father's Day. The idea spread to other states. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge asked people all over the country to honor their fathers with a special day. Ever since then, Americans have celebrated Father's Day on the third Sunday in June.
