Nothing beats the bond between father and daughter. Daughters not only learn how men should treat women from their relationships with their fathers, but they also determine who they marry and how they relate to their future spouses. The presence of a father in a daughter’s life can determine the child’s future. So, men, you should do what you can to strengthen your bond with your daughter, even if it doesn’t work out because you don’t have much in common.
There is no better time for fathers to bond with their children than at Christmas. Children often miss school and have a lot of free time. Dads who spend quality time with their daughters form a bond that can never be separated.
However, in this economy, it can be financially difficult to get a dad and daughter date.
Here are six dad-daughter Christmas dates to try this year.

Doing something that requires movement, such as skating or dancing, not only helps you focus on each other, but it also helps bring back childhood memories. A visit to Her Rockefeller Center or a light hike to a local frozen pond can be a magical experience. Whatever you do, make sure it’s a memory of her she’ll never forget.(Consider packing a thermos of hot chocolate for outdoor adventures!)
If this is her first time skating, or if she’s not very confident on the ice, take the time to take the initiative and help her out. Help her by leaning on you so she can hold your hand. The beauty of a gentle touch conveys the love you share with each other, even if your relationship has been rocky lately.
2. Movie Night
Movie nights focus on the screen, but they can still foster quality time between you and your child. It costs as much as renting a few, eating popcorn, and laughing at your favorite. Allow her to choose the movie that she is most engrossed in. Even if the movie isn’t your choice, the memories you’ve created will quickly become your favorites when you look back at the efforts you’ve made to be more interested in her daughter.
