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 cooked by her

family and severed to her on a tray in bed. Later in that day, it’s also traditional for the extended family

group to get together for dinner, either in a restaurant or in one of their homes. Flower is an important

part of Mother’s Day. Mothers are often given a plan 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
