Subject: RE: Thought for Mother's Day, 5/14/2000
I was puzzled why Mothers Day was up and running here, when it was weeks ago where I live. So I cranked up my faithful WebFerret and found this "History of Mother's Day".

So a Happy Mother Day to all Mudcat mothers in the States, as well as in "countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May."

So do Canadians follow the American usage, or do they stick to Mothering Sunday like English speaking countries in Europe (and France, I believe)?
