Mothering Sunday
2012-03-19
It was Mothering Sunday (or Mother’s Day) last Sunday. It is the day that you give cards, presents and treats to your mother to show how much you love and appreciate her.
It is a very old tradition from when servants were allowed to go home and see their families for the day. My mother was given a bouquet of flowers; a box of chocolates; a pedicure with foot massage and my sister, brother and I cooked a lovely meal for her.
When we were younger, we would make cards at school and bring them home for her but now we buy the cards - they have better pictures!
Now we have to plan for Father's Day in June. This is not a traditional day, it is maybe 15 years old. It was invented because it wasn't fair to have a day for mothers but not for fathers. Last year we bought my father a helicopter flying lesson. He loved it but it will be difficult to find a better present this year!
