The woman who first suggested Mother's Day was a famous poet named Julia. She suggested a Mother's Day for peace and against war. Mother's Day became a designated holiday in 1914.
A study shows that the number of phone calls goes up 11% on Mother's Day. So don't be lazy: Your mom certainly expects to hear from you, and not just with a text. Carnations (康乃馨) have already become the symbol of Mother's Day. Many moms hope to get flowers from their kids or loved ones on this special day. If you're thinking about taking your mom out to eat, you might consider which time of the day will have enough open tables. Mother's Day is one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants. Besides, you need to get your mom a gift, clothing, electronics or gift cards, etc.
Many countries have a Mother's Day, though they don't always fall on the second Sunday in May like it does in the US, Australia, China, Japan, and India. Flowers and gifts are a worldwide tradition for the day, but in Thailand parades (游行) are held. In another country, moms are tied up until they give sweets and gifts to their children. What a special and funny tradition!
