In the United States, people celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Mother’s Day is celebrated on the
second Sunday in May. On this occasion, mother usually receives greeting cards and gifts from her
husband and children. The best gift of all for an American Mom is a day of leisure. The majority of
American mothers have outside jobs as well as housework, so their working days are often very hard. The
working mother enjoys the traditional Mother’s Day custom of breakfast (or brunch) cooked by her
family and served to her on a tray in bed. Later in the day, it’s also traditional for extended family groups
to get together for dinner, either in a restaurant or in one of their homes.
Flowers are important part of Mother’s Day. Mothers are often given a corsage or a plant for the
occasion, particularly if they are elderly.
Father’s Day is celebrated throughout the United States and Canada on the third Sunday in June. The
holiday customs are similar to Mother’s Day. Dad also receives greeting cards and gifts from his family
and enjoys a day of leisure.
