Am i going mad or is it Mothers day, technically now, but on Sunday?

How does this day spring up like this without me knowing, where was all the hype and BS for it this year? I seemed to have missed everything.

(Only in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Malta, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United States, Venezuela ;)).

Well thank god for that lol

Its the third time in the past hour I have seen somone write something about said day, and I thought id join in with the confusion between March and May.


Mother's Day — Date: "US" Mother's Day is Sunday May 14, 2006
According to http://www.holidays.net/mother/


oh no wait. Americans seem to celebrate it in May because they are vastly superior to the rest of the civilised world.

EDIT...
So technically We, our country, are among the idiots that celebrate it at the worng time? seeing as most of Europe does it

So what reason do all the other countries that celebrate it today have? :p
 
Yep thats along list and would take me a lot of cliche and sarcasm to get through that one.

ill have to pass and take back my anti-american slander ;)
 
Don't confuse Mothering Sunday and Mother's Day.

The former was a tradition started in this country in which servants could visit their families, especially their mothers. The latter was a movement started during the U.S. Civil War to honour the peaceful nature of mothers.
 
And theres me thinking it was just Another way for Clinton Cards to justify thier existence.
