Hello Ron / lowlanders,

As it is now approaching Father's Day in the UK, I was interested in how
the
various members of the LLG would say ,"Wishing you a happy Father's
Day," so
I could put the various translations on my father's card.

Regards / groetens,
David Elsworth.

Hi, David!  Good to hear from you.

June 16th is Father's Day in the United States, Canada, Argentina,
Panama and Japan as well.

In Germany, Father's Day has been usurping the Christian holiday
Ascencion Day (which is an official holiday), this year on May 9.  To
find out how it is celebrated, please see our own Clara
Kramer-Freudenthal's Low Saxon description (with my translation):
http://www.sassisch.net/rhahn/kramer/himmelfohrt.html

If my father were still alive, I would write (in Northern Low Saxon (Low
German)) this:

     "Mit leve Grötens un Wünsch to'n Vadderdag"

("With dear/loving greetings/regards and wishes on Father's Day")

Best wishes to all fathers on Lowlands-L!

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
