Mother's Day 2009

It is time to talk about Mother's Day.

Since this special day is approaching quickly, we have a limited
amount of time to talk about Mother's Day and the purpose of it
is to honor motherhood.



Miss Anna Jarvis is recognized as the founder of Mother's Day in
the United States. President Woodrow Wilson was a strong supporter
and in 1915 he proclaimed Mother's Day as a national annual event.
It is celebrated on the second Sunday of May.



In the United States, some people continue the tradition of wearing a
red or colored Carnation if their Mother is alive; however, a white
Carnation is worn if their Mother is dead.

There are many products and services to purchase as a gift for
Mother's Day.  However, keep in mind if you do not have the money
to purchase a gift for your Mother.  There are many alternatives and
one suggestion would be to sit down and write a handwritten note to
thank your Mother, tell her how much you love her, and just spend
some time with her on Mother's Day.
