I don’t like the Hallmark aspect of pretty much every major holiday…but I have to say I really enjoy that my kids make me cards and get so excited to tell me “Happy Mother’s Days!!” See, I can understand where you’re coming from when you point out that lots of women are unhappy on Mother’s Day, and I empathize with them as much as I can…but I don’t think that means others can’t and shouldn’t enjoy it. It’s as much about the kids as the mothers, and personally, any day that promotes a little extra love and acknowledgement is a good one in my opinion. Maybe what we should all be doing on Mother’s Day is remembering how fotunate we are, and being aware that other women have burdens and pain. But I will never believe that my children, or any children, excitedly making cards and yelling happy things at the mother figures in their lives is a bad thing.

I just hate it because Hallmark made it up to sell cards. Fortunately, my church has the good sense to ignore it. We pretty much ignore it too.

I guess I’m one of those people in the bubbles… it seems the older I get the more I like mother’s day.

I just plain old hate it too! But I like saying it! I hate Mother’s Day! That felt so good I’m going to say it again! I hate Mother’s Day! >8 ^P

Yes, I’m sure I wanted to say that. Thanks for asking. Thanks for bringing it up.

But also, everyone who wants to be happy should be happy. The whole world is not happy on, say, my birthday, which is a shame and a loss for them.

Reprint ho! Gosh, I’ve always heard of this miracle but I’ve never known anyone who actually had a reprint! Huzzah!
