When is Mother’s Day Weekend in Idaho, WA, and UT this Year?

Holidays throughout the year are always great to look towards, but not all holidays are the same. Many enjoy them because it typically means time off work, traveling, or a big gathering with friends and family. Other holidays are less extravaganza, but equally just as important. Some people don't consider it a holiday unless you get gifts, have a big meal, or get time away from work and school. These holidays include Valentine's Day, Father's Day, and Mother's Day. The last two are important because it is honoring those who have raised you and given you everything. The most important of these is Mother's Day. When it comes to celebrating your mom this year, when is Mother's Day, and how long do you still have to get her gift or plan something fun for her?

The History of Mother's Day in America

To many, Mother's Day may be just a day to celebrate their mom, but have you ever wondered how and when the holiday began? Many countries around the world celebrate Mother's Day, with the holiday being at different times of year and countries celebrating in different ways. In America, it started in 1908 in West Virginia in a church. It would take six more years to become an official holiday when President Woodrow Wilson officially designated it as one in 1914. The woman who started the holiday, Anna Jarvis, was so disgusted with how commercialized it became that she rejected the holiday from 1920 on.

Make sure to get out and get your mom something to celebrate her, or as Anna Jarvis would want, perhaps clear your schedule and spend some time with your mother instead of buying her an item that will sit on a shelf. No matter how you decide to celebrate the holiday is up to you, but make sure to call and tell your mom you love her on Sunday, May 11.
