But I agree with Anna Jarvis: Mother's Day should be a holiday. Mothers deserve recognition. Even the commercial side of this holiday, like every other holiday, doesn't repulse me. If it spurs some people to spend on gifts for their mothers, all the better. I'd like my son to buy me gifts on every Mother's Day. Alas. He never does. :( Olga Godimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358026814685611301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-48228721100044492242017-05-09T14:12:33.302-07:002017-05-09T14:12:33.302-07:00Who knew?!

Oldest son wants to sleep late, younger son will go rowing, the hubby wants to head to the country and not row.

It's sad that all holidays have become commercialized, largely losing their meaning, except as a marker for a day off from work.River Fairchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374958276717316437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-31349626868539549172017-05-09T07:44:04.692-07:002017-05-09T07:44:04.692-07:00I had no idea what the origin of Mother's Day ...I had no idea what the origin of Mother's Day was.
