Mother's Day
For most of our readers here, Mother's day is celebrated on the second sunday in May. It's the day when we celebrate motherhood and the time when we thank Mothers. A special day for moms which was originally concieved by Julia Ward Howe after the american civil war.

But did you know that...

In other countries, Mother's Day is celebrated on different days and is from a different origin; some even trace back the origina of Mother's Day to mother worship in Ancient Greece.

Here are the dates when other countries celebrate Mother's Day:

Norway - 2nd Sunday in February
Ireland, UK - 4th Sunday in Lent (March 26)
Hungary, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain - 1st Sunday in May
France, Sweden,Dominican Republic, Haiti - last Sunday in May
Thailand - August 12, the birthday of Queen Sirikit Kitiyakara
Indonesia - December 22

Wherever in the world you are, no one would take it against you if you do show your appreciation every single day.
