Mother's Day has a rich history dating back hundreds of years possibly to Roman times when presents were given to mothers on a day celebrating their god, Juno. Over a century ago a movement started in the United States to make Mother's day the second Sunday of May. Today dozens of countries around the world celebrate mother's day on the second Sunday of May. In British Columbia moms are greeted with everything from breakfast in bed to surprise gifts and pledges of better behaviour.
On May 9th we collectively celebrate Mother's Day. While some tie this day to Christian rituals dating back centuries, it exists today as a way to say thank you to mother's for all that they do to make life wonderful. Together we can reinforce the special qualities of this day by doing what we can to make our mothers feel special on Mother's Day and carry that feeling forward on the other days of the year.
Just a friendly reminder to make sure your plans are in place for this Mother's Day. Sunday brunches are very popular on Mother's Day. Alternatively, you can create a fun dinner out or get away with friends to a hotel for the night. Make your plans today to avoid disappointment as your favourite place to dine may be too full if you wait until the last minute. If you are looking for ideas to make the event special, ask the restaurant manager for suggestions. Remember, if you have planned to tie in another occasion or two speak to the staff ahead of time to help make your event all the more fun.
Without question, the accommodations and restaurant sector of our economy has been very hard hit by the recent recession. So make this Mother's Day the best yet and help out your local economic recovery at same time. Make brunch, dinner or hotel reservations today.
