In Britain there is a holiday now which people call Mother's Day. In the old days many girls from working-class family in towns and cities and from farmers' families in the country worked in rich houses. Once a year, it was usually on Sunday in March, they could visit their mothers. They went home and brought presents for their mothers and for members of their families. People call that day Mothering Day or Mothering Sunday. Later workers at the factories and girls who worked in the houses of rich families received one free day a week and Mothering Day became Mother's Day. It is the last Sunday in March.
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson and congress agreed that the second Sunday in May should be observed as Mother's Day in America. On that day,' children give their mothers flowers, presents and cards to show their love to their mothers. Today, millions of Americans celebrate Mother's Day in some way. More than 150 million Mother's Day greeting cards are bought every year. It is also one of the busiest days of the year for the flower industry. Americans millions of dollars to buy Mother's Day gifts. Clothes, perfume, jewelry and books or tickets to the theater are given to mothers. People who can not be with their mothers on that day usually send them presents and call them on the phone.
