Welcome back guys and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Today, on this very special day, I decided to do a little bit of research about Mother's Day for you!
Why May 8th you may be wondering. Well it's always the second Sunday in May. This is not a federal holiday, meaning life still goes on just like any other Sunday. Many people believe that Mother's Day was formed by two women named Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis. Julia Ward Howe celebrated it originally to help educate people about the pacifism and disarmament. Anna Jarvis held a private celebration for her mother. Some people even believe that Juliet Calhoun Blakely developed this celebration when her sons payed respect to her every year and urged others to do the same.
A research has been done that Americans spend 21.4 BILLION dollars for flowers on Mother's Day. Wow! Well I hope you learned something about this very special day. Until next week!
