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 mother was first 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 Mother’s Day. Because she didn’t like the way people chose to celebrate it. She wanted people to spend more time telling their mothers they love them and spend less money buying things.
