In Hungary, where I am from Mothers’ Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of May, not the second, like in most countries. At times when my parents are visiting and happen to be here in May, this presents an interesting dilemma: which date should I pick? (The first one comes with a practical benefit: easier access to flowers, restaurant reservations ..etc)
I’ve always thought it was a European vs. American “thing”. But today I looked it up – where else, but in Wikipedia?
(I’ve just discovered the iframe that pulls the data in from the Zoho Sheet I used may not be visible in the feed – of that’s the case, please click to read the original post)
How could we end up celebrating the same thing on 23 different dates is really amazing.
Happy Mothers’s Day – All the Year Round. 
You think Mothers Day is bad, try Fathers Day. We celebrate Fathers Day here in the first Sunday in September, no where near the US, and it’s different again worldwide.
Hey, Dunc, Hungarians don’t even celebrate Father’s Day at all 🙁
So don’t Indians 🙂 But practically, every day’s a Mother’s Day and Father’s day, since most Indians stay with their Parents for most of their lifetime. First half of their life, they are the dependants, and the next half, the parents are the dependants.
But, it’s fun most of the time though!
