Although the custom of setting aside a day to honour mothers has ancient roots, our observance of Mother’s Day originated in 1907 with the efforts of a devoted daughter, Anna M. Jarvis of Philadelphia, who conceived the idea of an annual nationwide celebration. The public and the press quickly embraced the idea, and villages, towns, cities, and states soon began unofficial Mother’s Day observances. On May 8, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day, and within a few years, the idea gained worldwide prominence.
The day is now characterised by gift giving, sending greeting cards and flowers, and giving mother a “day off” by cooking for mom or taking her out to eat. – Courtesy https://www.almanac.com/content/when-mothers-day-2016
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to tell your mom how much you love her. Often we neglect to say “I love you” just because and it will mean so much to her.
So go on, spoil her and make her day!
