But is it really the case?
You do not have to look very far to know that this is not true. The Thais celebrate Mother's Day on 12 August, which is the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. If you need more proof, you can check out the various dates that countries around the world celebrate Mother's Day (click here).
I used to think that there's one and only Mother's Day celebrated, which is the second Sunday of May. And it's all because there are more countries celebrating it on this day and there's no internet to search for such information.
Mother's Day wasn't such a big thing in the past. As our society progress and develop, with the influence of the western culture and businesses hyping up this occasion in order to make more profits, Mother's Day has become so commercialized that some of us feel that not celebrating it is a sin.
If your economic condition permits, it's perfectly alright to lavish expensive gifts to your mom. She deserves the best. But don't ever allow the price tag becomes a measure of your love for her.
This Mother's Day, how about cooking up a meal for your mom instead of dining at 5-stars hotel? How about giving her a handmade card?
And you can do it once a week or month. There's no need to wait till Mother's Day to express your love and gratitude.
So when is Mother's Day?
It's every day and it lives in your heart.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in the world, every day.
