Mother's Day
« on: May 10, 2013, 10:15:21 pm »
Mother's Day is officially celebrated in well over 140 countries around the world on differing days throughout the year.
In the United States and many other countries, Mother's Day is always celebrated on the second Sunday in May. The other countries that celebrate Mother's Day at this time are: Anguilla, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Bermuda, Bonaire, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Cura?ao, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Honduras, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Latvia, Malta, Malaysia, Myanmar, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, St. Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Switzerland, Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe.
 
In the UK, Ireland and Nigeria, Mother's Day (also know as "Mothering Sunday") is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday. As Easter Sunday is a moveable feast, Mother's day is celebrated on a different date each year.

That is enough history of the day so how to you honor your mother? You also know that even Rob had a mother ;D

King you are a veritable fount of trivia, but you made one mistake.
Rob was found under a rotten log by a truffle hunting pig. And there is no proof he had a mother.  ;D ;D ;D
Sorry Rob I've been a way and had to make up for it. LOL
