A Day for Mom

... is for the million things she gave me,

... means only that she's growing old,

History And Customs

The earliest tributes to mothers date back to the annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to Rhea, the mother of many deities, and to the offerings ancient Romans made to their Great Mother of the Gods, Cybele. Christians celebrated this festival on the fourth Sunday in Lent in honor of Mary, mother of Christ. In England this holiday was expanded to include all mothers and was called Mothering Sunday.

Gift Ideas

Let mom put her feet up today and cater to her every wish. Honor her with homemade gifts, heartfelt sentiments, and time well spent together. No one deserves the royal treatment more than she does!

v Mother's Day is coming, every year I just gave my mom a call to express my thanks to her for bringing me to this wonderful world, but this year, i will go home to suprise my mom. hehe, mom I love you forever

v hmm.. that's always the hardest question. i want to give lots of presents to my mom, but the unique gift idea... i think i'll just be a good kid, texting her the night before, calling her that night.

What kind of gifts have you prepared for your Mom?
