When is Mothers Day 2012 ?
Mother's Day in 2012 is on Sunday, May 13.
Mother's Day 2012 is observed on the second Sunday of May
and celebrates the important roles that mothers serve in society. Anna
Jarvis of West Virginia started the holiday in 1908 to pay tribute to
mothers, but it wasn't until 1914 that President Woodrow Wilson made
the holiday official by signing it into law.
Mother's Day 2012 will be one of the most commercialized
holidays in the United States, and sales for gifts peak during the days
preceding Mother's Day. It is common for children to buy gifts, flowers,
and cards for their mothers on Mother's Day. England also has an
equivalent holiday to Mother's Day called "Mothering Day" that is
celebrated on the fourth Sunday during the month of Lent.
