ORIGINAL: Lucylastic I celebrate both:) I call my mum on both days, my sisters and aunts, etc too march for the UK and may for the US/Canada. Long time ago someone said the day for the UK was due to nine months later its fathers day. But thats just old wives thingy I believe, I know there is a reason for it, but im too tired to look it up. Not a bad idea when living on the other side of the pond now. I looked it up and was surprised to find that many different societies and countries celebrate it between March and May for various reasons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Day#Dates_around_the_world but a couple go as far as December!
