By placing it in IMHO, rather than General Questions, I’d say he was implicitly asking for anecdotes and such.
In Spain Father’s Day is March 19th: Feast of St Joseph, often a national holiday, when it’s not national then some regions take it up, always the holiday in Valencia (it’s when they celebrate Fallas).
Mother’s Day is the first Sunday in May, this year it was May 3rd.
Taiwan follows convention on Mother’s Day but Father’s Day is August 8th, a pun on 8 / 8 (ba ba) and father (ba ba) although with different tones.
Nice, then you only have to get one card!
We just had Star Wars Day on May 4th (“may the fourth be with you”)** but I didn’t know any actual official national holidays anywhere were based on puns. That’s awesome!
** to which I often reply, “And also with you.”
Hey, I may be the lapsed of lapsed Catholics but I was TRAINED dammit.
Here in Argentina is the third sunday of October, sometimes it falls on my mothers birthday and then we call it “Mother’s Birthday Day” to the eternal annoyance of my mum.
Sometimes it falls on October 17 which is “Loyalty Day” for the Peronist party, I think we should call it “Loyalty to Mother’s day” I’ll suggest it next October, most of my family are Peronists so they may like it 
Difference of opinion I guess. I had interpreted his question as inviting discussion on what other people’s countries do for Mother’s day if they have such a thing.
That one card has to be twice as expensive. :rolleyes:
If it was purely a request for facts, he would have put it in General Questions. And even then, the post that was moderated would have been against the rules, since “Just Google it” is not an acceptable response even in GQ. Since the question was placed in IMHO, it was obviously an invitation to discussion.
I’ve been a father for twenty-four years (and I actually had one for fifty-nine). It’s not really that big a deal here, either. I doubt that the stores sell more than about two or three riding mowers over it.
Try “and with your spirit” next time.
NASCAR always said they won’t race on mother’s day but they race on father’s day.
Ha! I knew which clip that was gonna be before I clicked on it.
“… they changed shit!!”
Yup, every damned year my English colleagues would scare the hell out of every one of us when they started talking about mother’s day activities.
