In the United States, people celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Mother’s Day is
celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On this occasion, mother usually receives
greeting cards and gifts from her husband and children. The best gift of all for American
Mom is a day of leisure. The majority of American mothers have outside jobs as well as
housework, so their working days are often very hard. The working mother enjoys the
traditional Mother’s Day custom of breakfast cooked by her family and served to her on a
tray in bed. Later in that day, it’s also the traditional for the extended family group to get
together for dinner, either in a restaurant or in one of their homes.
Flower is an important part of Mother’s Day. Mothers are often given a plant for the
occasion, particularly if they are elderly.
Father’s Day is celebrated through out the United States and Canada on the third
Sunday in June. The holiday customs are similar to Mother’s Day. Dad also receives
greeting cards and gifts from his family and enjoys a day of leisure.
