Holiday Planning

The History of Mother's DayMother's Day

 

 

 

Make a note of something she says she'd like to have and buy it for her (if you can afford it. Don't forget to add your personal touch such as flowers or a handmade card or craft. Color a page from our collection of coloring pages. Award her a certificate for Best Mom or print out some coupons to give to her.

Above all, spend time with your mother and make her feel special.  Fix her breakfast in bed or invite her over for dinner.  Plan a family outing, such as a picnic.

 

                    MOTHER
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

Howard Johnson (c. 1915)
