Comments (0) Mother’s Day: The Universal Holiday
In spite of it seeming as if Christmas and New Years were only just here, we’re already coming up on Mother’s Day in the U.S: It will take place on the 2nd Sunday in May. But people in the USA aren’t the only ones who enjoy Mother’s Day on that Sunday. Taiwan, Ecuador, Tonga, Brazil, Turkey, Uganda, Malaysia, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and many others do as well.
That’s in all probability why, starting in March or April, so many Web surfers go online looking for vintage Mother’s Day cards, free Mothers Day invites, free Mothers Day certificates and other related items. Not all children have the money to buy Mothers Day presents, invitations and decorations, so these freebies can come in pretty handy. Truthfully, though, there’s a bit of work and talent involved with making something out of the vintage Mothers Day cards, printable decorations and clip art. So those might be best left to people who are into crafts. The free Mother’s Day blank certificates are a piece of cake though. Just print one out, sign it and give it to your mom.

There are also variations of Mother’s Day, called Parents’ Day, which is celebrated on May 8 in South Korea and Albania, and The Mothers and Children’s Day, which is celebrated in Mongolia on June 1.
It’s pretty glaring that the desire to honor Mother is a fairly widespread one, given that effectively every country on the planet has some form of Mother’s Day celebration. It’s heartwarming to note that even people in countries that may seem like adversaries to us have the common bond of paying respect to the women who gave birth to them.
