When Is Mother's Day In The Us

So, there I was, scrolling through my social media feed, when I stumbled upon a friend's post. She was sharing a heartwarming story about her mom, with a caption that read, "Happy Mother's Day, Mom! 🌸" I was taken aback, because in my mind, Mother's Day was still weeks away. I mean, I'm usually the one sending out reminders, not receiving them! That's when it hit me - I had no idea when Mother's Day actually was in the US. I knew it was sometime in May, but the exact date? Yeah, that was a mystery.

Let's Get to the Point, Shall We?

Alright, so you're probably wondering, "Why didn't you just Google it?" Well, friend, I could have. But where's the fun in that? Plus, I figured this might be a question on your mind too. So, let's dive in together, shall we?

When, You Ask?

Mother's Day in the US is always the second Sunday in May. Yes, you heard it right. It's not a fixed date like Christmas or Halloween. So, if you're planning ahead, you can mark your calendar for the following Sundays in May:

• 2023: May 14
• 2024: May 12
• 2025: May 11

See, I told you I'd make it worth your while. You're welcome! 😉

But Why the Second Sunday?

You might be wondering why it's not on a fixed date like, say, Mother's Day in the UK, which is always on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Well, the story behind the US Mother's Day is a bit of a rollercoaster. It was first celebrated in 1908, thanks to Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her late mother and all mothers. However, it wasn't until 1914 that President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation declaring the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.

Now, you might be thinking, "Why not the first Sunday? Or the third?" Well, the second Sunday was chosen because it was far enough from other holidays to give it its own special day. Plus, it's close enough to other holidays that it wouldn't interfere with people's vacation plans. Pretty clever, huh?

Whatever you do, make sure it's something she'll love. And if you're like me and tend to forget these things, set a reminder on your phone. Trust me, your mom will appreciate it!

And there you have it, folks. The mystery of Mother's Day in the US, solved. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some planning to do. Happy early Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there! 🌷
