Mother's Day History\nContrary to popular belief, Mother's Day was not conceived and fine-tuned in the boardroom of Hallmark. The earliest tributes to mothers date back to the annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to Rhea, the mother of many deities, and to the offerings ancient Romans made to their Great Mother of Gods, Cybele. Christians celebrated this festival on the fourth Sunday in Lent in honor of Mary, mother of Christ. In England this holiday was expanded to include all mothers and was called Mothering Sunday. \n\nIn the United States, Mother's Day started nearly 150 years ago, when Anna Jarvis, an Appalachian homemaker, organized a day to raise awareness of poor health conditions in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by mothers. She called it "Mother's Work Day." \n\nFifteen years later, Julia Ward Howe, a Boston poet, pacifist, suffragist, and author of the lyrics to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," organized a day encouraging mothers to rally for peace, since she believed they bore the loss of human life more harshly than anyone else. \n\nIn 1905 when Anna Jarvis died, her daughter, also named Anna, began a campaign to memorialize the life work of her mother. Legend has it that young Anna remembered a Sunday school lesson that her mother gave in which she said, "I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will found a memorial mother's day. There are many days for men, but none for mothers." \n\nAnna began to lobby prominent businessmen like John Wannamaker, and politicians including Presidents Taft and Roosevelt to support her campaign to create a special day to honor mothers. At one of the first services organized to celebrate Anna's mother in 1908, at her church in West Virginia, Anna handed out her mother's favorite flower, the white carnation. Five years later, the House of Representatives adopted a resolution calling for officials of the federal government to wear white carnations on Mother's Day. In 1914 Anna's hard work paid off when Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother's Day as a national holiday. \n\nAt first, people observed Mother's Day by attending church, writing letters to their mothers, and eventually, by sending cards, presents, and flowers. With the increasing gift-giving activity associated with Mother's Day, Anna Jarvis became enraged. She believed that the day's sentiment was being sacrificed at the expense of greed and profit. In 1923 she filed a lawsuit to stop a Mother's Day festival, and was even arrested for disturbing the peace at a convention selling carnations for a war mother's group. Before her death in 1948, Jarvis is said to have confessed that she regretted ever starting the mother's day tradition. \n\nDespite Jarvis's misgivings, Mother's Day has flourished in the United States. In fact, the second Sunday of May has become the most popular day of the year to dine out, and telephone lines record their highest traffic, as sons and daughters everywhere take advantage of this day to honor and to express appreciation of their mothers

I think Mother's Day is for ALL mother's.  It isn't called MY MOTHER'S DAY.   I've always thought of it this way. All mothers should be cherished, especially on that day.  :)

Time........as we grow up we don't spend time with our parents.  I always took my Mom to a special place for dinner.  In fact, I never really had a mother's day because I always spent it with my Mom.

Perfect mothers day gift??  That's kind of a tough question to answer considering not all mothers are alike.\n\nFor my mother, I believe the perfect mothers day gift would be to have all her kids and grandkids with her on this specific day, just being with her.\n\nAlthough, I'm sure she wouldn't mind a new car....\n\n;-)

The answer depends on whether you mean may day, the 1st. day of May, or Mayday- the distress call.\n\nThe distress call is derived from the French "M'aidez" meaning help me.

I am blessed for any Mom's day I get to spend with my offspring.  That said I think mine was certainly not the best. Alone with 5 kids under 7, who think the idea of mother's day means: let's see how much we can get away with today.  But I survived and so did they..I think..head count..yeah they're all still here - LOL

Mother's Day in the UK is Mothering Sunday ... a Sunday about half-way through Lent.  It was traditionally the day when girls in service would be allowed home to see their mothers (they often worked some miles away and 'lived-in'). \n\nOf course mothers should be appreciated all year round but it's a very good idea to have one day in the year when you remember them specially!  If it's a special day with happy memories, then one thinks back to it over the ensuing year and it reminds one from time to time how special one's mother is.
