So, obviously, I can’t let this opportunity to blog about mothers on Mother’s Day go by unanswered. With a little bit of research today, I have learned that “Mother’s Day” started in Ancient Greece as a day to worship Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. But the more direct link to the Mother’s Day we celebrate in the US today comes from the practice in England of allowing the servants one day a year to go home to see their mothers. Fun, right?
So now we celebrate our mothers on this one day a year- and the media talks about nothing but mothers: how to honor your mother, what expensive and materialistic gifts to buy her, plus anything and everything mom-related. Hopefully, I’ll dig up something interesting tonight to post about.
