 Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world in a way in which reflects each nation’s customs and traditions, however as we all know some things in life translate the same through every language. The Language of Love!
In Australia on the 2nd Sunday in May, many Australian families gather together to celebrate with love and joy their mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, aunts, and other special women and mother’s in their lives. Mother’s Day often begins with the lovely treat of breakfast in bed and is followed throughout the day with Mum being pampered with special gifts, flowers and cards made by children in the family.
In France, Mother’s Day or Fête des Mères is celebrated on the last Sunday in May and is a day to make Mum (Maman) the centre of attention. On this special Spring day, family’s often come together and celebrate with a special meal, flowers and cards. Children will often practice a poem to surprise their mother with, and at the conclusion of a special meal Mother’s are often presented with a beautiful cake that often resembles a bouquet of flowers.
