Some reasons for this day being loved

• Brothers who understand you like no other

Not many people can communicate with an eyebrow raise or a kick under the dinner table, but brothers can. Over the years, you've forged a relationship built on long and boring car trips, mom's lame puns, and scrambling for the last bite of the famous potato salad on Dad's 4th of July.

• Brothers have your back

Forget scorned women - what the hell isn't as angry as a protective brother. From fights in the schoolyard to a freak family to a bar brawl, your brother will be there for you. Unless you are the person who fight to him. However, stay on his good side, and the two of you can grow the world.

Robert Frost famously said, “Home is where when you have to get there, they have to take you in” and that extends to wherever your brother's house is. You've been scrambling for girls and you've gone without speaking and you've probably said some choice words about each other, but at the end of the proverbial day, he's not heavy-handed. He is your brother.

How to celebrate Brother’s Day

• Indulge in your favorite bonding ritual

Beer? Dance game? Outdoor barbecue? Brunch? Whatever you guys like to do, today is the day to do it together. Even if it just grab a bite for eating, let spend time on bonding with your brother.

• Tell him how much he means to you

This doesn't have to be as emotional as all of that, but it has to mean a little more than babbling “I love you, man!” after a few shots from Jameson. Just let him know that you appreciate everything he's done for you or that you really enjoy hanging out with him.

• Buy him something

Unlike Mother's Day, when it's basically springtime to buy flowers, perfume, or a brunch buffet, there are no guidelines when it comes to buying a treat for your brother. You see a funny t-shirt online, a book he likes, or a movie ticket? If he's a whiskey lover, buy him that special bottle he wouldn't buy for himself. Who knows, maybe he'll share.
