The origin of Grandfather's Day - a short history of the establishment of the holiday
Grandfather's Day in Poland was created as a natural complement to the previously established Grandmother's Day:
- 1970s:After the success of Grandmother's Day (which was adopted in the mid-1960s), people began to talk loudly about the need to also honor grandparents. The idea was supported by numerous editorial offices of daily newspapers and family weeklies.
- Setting the date for January 22:To facilitate the organization of family celebrations and to enable children in schools to prepare joint performances, Grandparents' Day was set for January 22. Thanks to this, both holidays create a coherent, weekend or several-day family cycle.
- Influence of television and radio:In the 1980s, this holiday became widely known and permanently appeared in television programs and radio broadcasts dedicated to seniors.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is Grandparents' Day celebrated on the same day in all countries?
No. In most European countries and North America, grandparents do not have a separate holiday. Grandparents' Day is celebrated there (e.g. in the USA on the first Sunday after Labor Day). In Italy, Grandparents' Day falls on October 2, in Germany on the second Sunday of October, and in Spain and Portugal on July 26 (the day of St. Joachim and St. Anne - Jesus' grandparents).
What is the history of the creation of the common Grandparents' Day in the USA?
National Grandparents Day was established in the USA in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter. The initiator was Marian McQuade, a housewife from West Virginia, who wanted to draw attention to the fate of older, lonely people living in nursing homes and encourage young people to draw on the wisdom of seniors.
What to write in wishes for a grandfather from a small child?
The best wishes for a small child will be simple wishes of health, smile and patience. It is worth adding thanks for going for walks together, reading fairy tales before bed or learning to ride a bike. A hand-signed card with a drawing will be the most valuable souvenir for grandfather.
What gift should I choose for a health-conscious grandfather?
Great choices will be herbal teas, organic honey, preparations with lecithin or ginseng that improve memory and concentration, as well as devices that facilitate health monitoring - e.g. a modern, easy-to-use upper arm blood pressure monitor.
How to spend Grandparents' Day if a senior lives in a nursing home?
Your presence is the most important. Plan a longer visit on January 22. Bring his favorite cake or fruit, look at photos together or go for a walk around the center. If grandpa's health allows it, take him home for a family dinner that day.
