It is not Mother's Day in all countries of the English-speaking world, but it is Mother's Day in both countries (one English-speaking, one not) where I have lived for extended periods. A family dinner is cooking as I type this. My mother and my wife are invited to eat the dinner, without having to do any of the preparation. My young daughter is planning to make a special minimal-cooking treat for the two mothers with whom we celebrate today.<p>The Wikipedia article has information about the dates of Mother's Day in various countries.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day</a>
