I am the mom, and am afraid it will be a very lonely day for me.  Some of my children live here and nearby, but either they must work or have other plans for the day.\n\nIt's okay, I know I'm loved--just would like to have a special day.

Good point.\n\nWhy do we need a 'father's day' or a 'mother's day'?\n\nMy mom posed this question years ago.\nShe told my brothers and I that these dates are commercialization's of who she was.\nThat by commercializing them it actually takes away from the meaning of being a mother or a father.\nHer point is that EVERY DAY she is a mother and the reward was in being the best mother she could.\n\nYears later, now as a father, I hold the same opinion.\nSo please, don't hold a special sale for dad's day on my account.\nI love being a dad.\nI don't need some business selling my family some junk just so they can feel good about themselves for doing something special for 'dad'.\nI AM special...I AM a dad and I LOVE it!!!\n\nMy wife, however, feels differently...so I get her some stuff she likes and have our son give it to her.\nEverybody is happy if momma is happy!

Originally conceived by Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War as a day honoring (in her opinion) the inherent pacifism of mothers, Mother's Day now simply celebrates motherhood and thanking mothers. Mothers often receive gifts on this day.\n\nMother's Days are celebrated on various days of the year in different countries because they have a number of different origins. One school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece. Mother worship — which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of gods, and Rhea, the wife of Cronus — was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (March 15) to March 18.\n\nIn most countries, Mother's Day is a new concept copied from western civilization. In many African countries, Mother's Day has its origins in copying the British concept. In most of East Asia, Mother's Day is a heavily marketed and commercialised concept copied straight from Mother's Day in the USA.\n\nSecond Sunday in May\n\nJulia Ward Howe wrote the original Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870, as a call for peace and disarmament. An excerpt follows:\n\nFrom the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with\nOur own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!\nThe sword of murder is not the balance of justice."\nBlood does not wipe our dishonor,\nNor violence indicate possession.\nAs men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war,\nLet women now leave all that may be left of home\nFor a great and earnest day of counsel.\nLet them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.\nLet them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means\nWhereby the great human family can live in peace...\n\nHowe failed in her attempt to get formal recognition of a Mother's Day for Peace. Her idea was influenced by Anna Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker who, starting in 1858, had attempted to improve sanitation through what she called Mothers' Work Days. She organized women throughout the Civil War to work for better sanitary conditions for both sides, and in 1868 she began work to reconcile Union and Confederate neighbors.\n\nJarvis' daughter, also named Anna Jarvis, would, of course, have known of her mother's work, and the work of Howe. Much later, when her mother died, this second Anna Jarvis started her own crusade to found a memorial day for women. The first such Mother's Day was celebrated in Grafton, West Virginia, on May 10, 1908, in the church where the elder Anna Jarvis had taught Sunday School. Grafton is the home to the International Mother's Day Shrine. From there, the custom caught on — spreading eventually to 45 states. The holiday was declared officially by somes states beginning in 1912. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother's Day.\n\nMother's Day is a busy time of year for mail in many countries. In 1973, the U.S. Postal Service was held up for eight days because of the number of letters and cards. Telephone networks are also at their busiest on Mother's Day.\n[edit]\n\nMothering Sunday\n\n    See also: Mothering Sunday\n\nMothering Sunday in the United Kingdom falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent (typically March or early April); it is commonly called "Mother's Day" but has no direct connection to the American practice. It is believed to have originated from the Christian practice of visiting ones mother church annually, this meant that most familes would be reunited on this day. Most historians believe that young apprentices and young women in servitude were released by their masters that weekend in order to visit their families[1].\n[edit]\n\nDate\nsecond Sunday in February Norway\nShevat 30 (usually in February) Israel\nMarch 3 Georgia\nMarch 8 Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, Slovakia, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania\nfourth Sunday in

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´ll probably go out on Sat. and Sun. since in Argentina we have a national holiday on Monday and I won´t go to work.\nMy mom´s birthday party is on sat. afternoon, and on Sunday we celebrate Father´s day, so, this will probably be a family eweekend during the afternoons and a wild weekend at night.
