Happy Mothers day!
Though in Romania we celebrate it on March 8. ;)
Romanians have a different way with all western events, it seems... :)
First it was Easter and now Mother's Day... :D
Happy Mother's Day to all of you one in ten-thousand members who is female, is reading this , and is also a mother (or in the process of becoming one)... :D
It seems so... But first we should force America to use a metric system. :wave:Quote:

Well Sid, I can presume, unlike we do, you are celebrating also Thanksgiving Day and, of course, the Independence Day on July 4 as well.Quote:

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 commercialized concept copied straight from Mother's Day in the USA.
... so why are you wondering we celebrate it in another day?Quote:
Wikipedia
Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on various days of the year because the day has a number of different origins.
I just noted that "Romanians have a different way with all western events..." - which seems fair what if one takes into account festivals like Easter as well, right? ;)Quote:

Wikipedia
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.
Counter point: Better flowers sell better at Spring Time... :D :pQuote:
