Thank you - I had mine in March. Lol

I wonder why we celebrate on different days?

Ah!............

Why is Mother's Day different in the UK and the US?
It was US troops who brought the American idea of 'Mother's Day' over here during the Second World War, and its influence gradually morphed with the UK's traditional 'Mothering Sunday' festival. But we've retained the church-related date, while the US still marks the occasion on the day Anna Jarvis set aside in May.

:D

Hmmm, I wonder...

I'm living in Singapore ( obviously :D ), and we use a lot of British terms and spelling, but we don't celebrate Mother's Day on the same day as the UK! Why is this so? :0
