Happy mothers day to all the wonderful mothers out there<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The origin of Mother\u2019s Day as we know it took place in the early 1900s. A woman named Anna Jarvis started a campaign for an official holiday honoring mothers in 1905, the year her own mother died. The first larger-scale celebration of the holiday was in 1908, when Jarvis held a public memorial for her mother in her hometown of Grafton, West Virginia.
Over the next few years, Jarvis pushed to have the holiday officially recognized, and it was celebrated increasingly in more and more states around the U.S. Finally, in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation making Mother\u2019s Day an official holiday, to take place the second Sunday of May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Anna Jarvis put Mother\u2019s Day on the calendar as a day dedicated to expressing love and gratitude to mothers, acknowledging the sacrifices women make for their children. That\u2019s why she was determined to keep \u201cMother\u2019s\u201d a singular possessive, as marked by the apostrophe before \u201cs.\u201d Each family should celebrate its own mother, so that individual women across the country could feel the love, even in the midst of a broad celebration of motherhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna Jarvis\u2019 vision of a peaceful and personal day for honoring and visiting with mothers quickly became commercialized by florists, retailers, and card companies. Although she had initially worked with these industries to promote the holiday, she felt it had spiraled into something unrecognizable. It seemed that spending time with one\u2019s mother, expressing appreciation, and even helping her with her duties was now overshadowed by gift-buying.
Soon, Jarvis was lobbying the government to have the holiday removed from calendars. She also denounced the holiday and campaigned against companies who profited from it.
Fortunately, today we can preserve Jarvis\u2019 intended celebrations\u2014and shower mom with well-deserved gifts as well. The best way to do this is by choosing a gift that reminds her of how much we appreciate all she has done for us. Flowers and candy are lovely, but what about a night off from cooking dinner and doing the dishes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
