Thought it was only the mothers in Canada and the United States that were involved in this "Mother's Day" thing officially (right now).

well, the UK has one in March.

Thought that was "Mothering Sunday" but then I haven't been there.

JigmeDatse: that's true and really it's a veneration of Mary Mother of God but somewhere along the way it became the same thing as Mother's Day and the religious aspect has largely been forgotten.

thinks religious aspects are kind of daft a lot of times.

would rather a religious aspect than a commercial aspect most of the time.
