Grandparent's Day

You are such a nice person.I guess your grandparents would be very happy to receive your gifts.But for me,I have never heard this special date before.Is it a fixed day every year or it changes?Thanks for telling me that!

Well at school they had Grand parent's day were the grandparents were invited to have lunch with the their grand children. Sadly neither of my girl’s grandmothers came. That's ok life happens, so I will be calling them on Sunday and letting the girls say something to them as well. I think my youngest has made cards for them, but we will be giving them those on Saturday at my great grand nieces birthday party, she will be one BTW.

oh we don't have a grandparents' day here in Italy. Guess it is a sort of injustice because we have father's day and mother's day so why not a grandparents' day, too!!! Apart from joking, I think it is important taking good care of our grandparents..they are the history of our lives..a history of love and sacrifices and everyday life from which we come from..I tried to spend as much time as possible with them when they were alive and I still have a special place in my heart for each of them..I have wonderful memories of the time we spent together and I thank them for all the love they gave me and my parents

Honestly hun here in Canada their is no such thing as Grandparents Day. I have noticed that Americans have more holidays then we do for some reason! It is however my hubby's birthday so we will be celebrating that. It does sound like a neat idea though as their is a Father's Day and Mother's Day. Maybe I'll send them an ecard to throw them for a loop lol.

Hi AmbiePam, believe me, if I could - i would as i loved all of them so much, but they all past away, and Imis them all so much :( But the 9th is my BD, so I will have a nice day, and will remember my grandparemts by lighting a few candles for them, and spilling some drops of champaign for their memory :)

I'm visiting my grandmother this friday actually. I've packed a homemade lunch and we are gonna have a picnic together. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. I also got her a new message board clock. Its pretty cool. For my other grandparents (deceased) I'm gonna direct a little more thoughts to them this weekend and sunday. But it seems I think of them every now and then all the time, so this may not be very different.

Is there a Grandfather's Day? I did not know that. My father-in-law has just passed away last month, and my son has just born last week. So they did not meet each other, but I want to do something to remember my father-in-law who has become grandfather of my son.

We don't celebrate Grandparents day in Australia. Sometimes, primary schools have a special grandparents day, where they can visit their grandchildren & see what work they are doing. I don't think this is related to Grandparents Day. It's a nice idea.

Since I was born so late to the family, I only got to know my paternal grandmother, but she passed away when I was in the 3rd grade. So I've never gotten to celebrate Grandparent's Day. So to all the grandparents here (and to yours too hon) Happy Early Grandparent's Day! I hope it is awesome for all of you!

Hi AmbiePam. I will be getting a card out today and will also be calling my grandmother on Sunday. She is the only grandparent I have left and has some health issues. I just hope she will be around for at least a few more years. I'm not sure what I'll do once she's gone.

Hi there. Ive never heard of "Grandparents Day" I think its a wonderful idea though, as our grandparents dont last for too long... Although we dont have an official grandparents day, we do have family dinners, where the whole family comes, and our grand parents are always there, so we get to spend time with them then and as we choose too...

We don't have this holiday here. But I think it is nice to have it one day in my country. We have the Elders' Day only.

Good for you. I am glad you remembered they are special in your life!

Hi AmbiePam, That's a nice thought. I'm a grandparent myself now, but my grandchildren are very young. We have never really done anything to mark the day. I think it's a great idea to do something special, and give the day a higher profile. Blessings.

When my grandmother was alive, we always celebrated. We bought her gifts and card...and took her out to dinner.
