Mother's Day
Hello, boys and girls. Do you know Mother's Day? Mother's Day is a holiday for mothers. It's on the
second Sunday in May. It is celebrated in the UK, the USA, Sweden and other countries. On this day, fathers
and children make breakfast, mothers don't work, and many people give flowers and cards to their mothers.
Mother's Day began on the 10th May 1908 in the USA. The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Anna
Jarvis of the USA. She wanted people to spend one day saying thanks to their mothers. Soon the holiday became
popular around the country and the world. However, in 1923, Anna wanted to stop Mothers'Day, because she
didn't like the way people chose to celebrate it. She wanted people to spend more time telling their mothers that
they love them and spend less money buying things.
