Don’t Send Flowers on Mothers Day – A Special Woman’s Day
Mothers Day is celebrated in every country on the globe. In the US, as in many other countries it is normally celebrated on the second Sunday of May. However, in the UK it is usually the fourth Sunday of May. There are a variety of ways to celebrate Mothers Day around the world.
When Mother’s Day is celebrated in the US there are many activities that people can take part in. There are flower shows and exhibitions with arrangements of exquisite white or red roses and carnations, and mothers handing out flowers and gifts to their love ones. There is also a wide range of gift ideas for mother and daughter couples and single people and Mother’s Day cards are also available.
In most of the countries around the world mother day celebrations are very colourful. Many people wear white and pink dresses, which look like confetti, with tassels to the ears, and flowers in vases all over the house. There are special events in the evening where families gather for popcorn and beverages such as wine and beer.
A variation on the traditional American Mother’s day is the “Famous Mothers Day” day, on which people give away clothes to children they have helped make. Some people visit nursing homes and enquire how old the residents are, and what kind of medical care they receive. They also visit prisons and work with elderly people who need help with simple chores.
In some countries people decorate the house in various ways, especially on Mother’s Day. People put up red and white carnations and marigolds on walls, tables and window ledges. Candles are lit all over the house, especially the windows, and flowers and gifts are given away. Chinese people love Chinese food and especially the special food of the Motherland, so they decorate their houses with red and yellow flowers. There is a festival during mid-May called the “Fruit Festival”, when people eat cakes and fruit juices made from red and yellow fruits.
Many churches also organize activities on Mother’s Day, such as lectures by well-known authors and famous personalities, music concerts and family get-togethers. People decorate their homes with posters of famous mothers Day symbols. On this day many restaurants and other retail outlets give free food items to their customers. The media also promotes this event heavily.
If you can afford it send your mother an old-fashioned flower bouquet, made of flowers and wrapped with hand-written cards. You can even order a custom bouquet online. Make sure you choose a florist who can make the bouquet look very attractive. You could even try to make the cards yourself. The old-fashioned flowers are very traditional on this day.
Mother’s Day is a special day for all the women who love their mother and want to express their love to her. The traditional Mother’s Day flowers have strong romantic meanings. However, the modern flowers have nothing to do with nature and don’t represent the feminine qualities of a mother. Therefore, if you’re going to celebrate Mother’s Day with the woman you love then don’t give her flowers on Mothers Day! Send her roses or buy her a beautiful gift instead.
