gratitude fathers in Poland celebrated every year on June 23 of 1965.That day fathers get the children small gifts such as gift cards or different sweets. Despite the relatively long history of Father's Day does not enjoy such great popularity, as Mother's Day, which does not change the fact that this is a very good opportunity to express gratitude for fathers
