Today is an special day in Mexico like in others cities. We celebrate Mother's day
We have different ways to celebrate Mums, maybe it depends the families, but the most common is make a family meal, in this kind of parties we share different dishes and Moms choose what they want to eat.
Some families make a big party, with a lot of people and sometimes hire mariachis to give him "serenata", flowers is a typical present to give.
The sons, especially when they are little like 3 to 9 years prepare in the school different activities, named "festival". Some kids dance, sing, tell poems, and give some present made by them.
That was the most common for celebrate moms. I know it's not a big blog, but I only want to share this special day,
But now I have to celebrate my Mom, and congratulations all the Mums, and thanks for always being with us and for all the love they give us.
Soon I'm going to write more about Mexico and me.

Hi Mitzi,
In France Mother's day is not today. It is on the last May's Sunday.
However what I feel surprising is the way you celebrate this special in Mexico... 'cause it is the nearly the same in France (meals, poems from young children, flowers...). It is strange because despite the cultural differences between our countries, we attach the same importance to give them the gratefulness they are worthy of...
I just would like to add that I thank all mothers of the world for always being loving, attentive...etc.
I love you Mum.

hi mit...
it is short but really sweet.
it reminds me about what we say in our country about Mother :
As God cannot reach everywhere to shower His selfless love;He has decided to create Mother.

Hello Mitzi,
Happy Mother's Day to you. It is so nice to know how children dedicate this day to their mums. As of me, I prepere my mum's favourite food on this day and I do the same on Father's Day too.
I will be looking forward to reading more about Mexico and when speaking about Mexico, one can't stop talking about Mexican food and the varieties of chilies grown there.
Good luck,
Naheed

Hello Mitzi
I use this web site because I want to improve my language skills. First time I used this web site about 3 months ago and in my opinion you're the best blogger for this time. You write very clearly and I can understand almost all (my english isn't the best)
As for Mother's day in Poland. We celebrate that holiday very similar as in Mexico.
I'm waiting for next posts about Mexico and you :)
regards

Nice post Mitzi.
It is curious how most languages have the sound 'm' embedded in the word that is equivalent to 'mother' in English. For example:
Chinese(simplified): muqin
Dutch: moeder
German: mutter
Korean: eomeoni
Hindi: ma
(I hope I got all this correct. I got it from google translate)
What is equivalent of mother in Mexican, Mitzi?
It is also curious how various dictionaries define mother. For example, meriam-webster has this definition: a female parent (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mother)while BeeDictionary has no mention of parent in its definition; it says: a woman who has given birth to a child ( http://www.beedictionary.com/definition/mother )

Hello Mitzi.
Here in Athens, GA is the same Mother's Day. Before a couple of weeks ago, all shopping malls and restaurants advertise the Mother's Day, so I thinks it is weird if we do not pay or buy some gift to mother. But, our parents sty in S. Korea, we bought bags and then sent them by airmail.
When is your's Father's Day? And, if there are any differences, please write us. Yours Oh

In Bangladesh, we, the Non-Muslims call our mother 'Maa'. On the other hand, major of us, the Muslims call 'AMMA'. But, in case of our mothers, most of them have a similarity in their live, livelihood and lifestyle. Major of them live in rural areas and from hand to mouth. And, that's why, they cannot think of any special day or event. They simply think of two meals per day for their son and daughter whether it's good or bad.
Though there's a remarkable trend of increasing single family nowadays, most of us have joint family till now. Therefore, we live with our parents in most cases. We hardly miss the chance of sleeping on mother's lap. We feel our mother at each and every moment for our food, for our clothings. We pester her for all our demands, we take shelter in her lap in any danger.
So, every day is mother's day for most of us. We love our mother everyday.
But, recently mother's day has been observed to be celebrated in class, especially rich and learned society. May be, after some years, we, the rest will also join them with a special day for our 'MAA', with different something to make her surprised, to fill her with joy.

Hi, Mitzi!
In Brazil, the Mother's Day celebration is almost the same in Mexico. I loved what you said about mothers. I Have a little son and just after having a baby, I could understand better my mom and all she did for me and my brothers.
See you.

Hi Mitzi,
what a nicely and tastefully designed greeting card! You have a refined taste. I've seen just yesterday the picture, often I use only text version. I sure your Mum's proud of you.
In my country still usually celebrate Women's Day on March 8 which is equate with Mother's Day, it's a heritage of the Soviet period. But in current year apart from the Eighth March we intend to set up a special Holiday in honour of all Mums, and another one for Fathers.
Best wishes,
Emat.

Hi Mitz,
in Italy the Mother's Day is much similar to Mexico. In this day, i prepared a big surprise to my mother; i offered her a beatiful dinner in a particular center of Rome. I have a special relationship with my mother and i'm particulary fond to this day.
Best wishes,
Patrizio.
