但盡管她付出了努力，這些活動都沒有被官方保留下來。THEFOUNDERFOUGHTBACK.母親節(jié)的創(chuàng)立者反過來要廢除這一節(jié)日。AlthoughJuliaWardHowefirstsuggestedadayformothers,AnnaJarvis(whohadnochildrenofherown)campaignedforanationaldayofobservanceformoms,inremembranceofherownmother,AnnJarvis,whohadspentyearsworkingtoprovideresources(資源)forpoormothersinWestVirginia.Mother'sDaybecameadesignatedholidayin1914,butwithinafewyears,Jarvisbecamedisgustedwithhowcommercialthedayhadbecomeandstartedapetitiontorescindtheholiday.(Thatclearlydidn'tcometopass.)盡管朱莉婭沃德豪伊最先提議設(shè)立母親節(jié)，但安娜賈維斯是倡議將母親節(jié)作為一個全國性節(jié)日來慶祝的人。安娜 賈維斯本人沒有小孩，她的初衷是為了紀念她自己的母親，她的母親安賈維斯花了很多年時間為西維吉尼亞州的貧困母親爭取資源。1914年，母親節(jié)成為了國家指定的節(jié)日，但幾年后，賈維斯開始厭惡這個節(jié)日變得商業(yè)化，于是她發(fā)起了一個廢除母親節(jié)的請愿活動。 （顯然請愿沒有被通過。）IT'SANACTIVEDAYONTHEPHONELINES.母親節(jié)這天通話數(shù)量大增。CallvolumeintheUSgoesup11percentonMother

佩戴白色康乃馨來紀念過世的母親。 盡管這一傳統(tǒng)已經(jīng)消逝，76%的母親仍希望在這個特別的日子從孩子或愛人那里收到鮮花。這個希望落空的可能性不大——因為母親節(jié)是鮮花銷量最高的一天，美國零售聯(lián)合會的調(diào)查揭示，多達67%的人計劃購買鮮花送給母親。MOMSAROUNDTHEWORLDARERECOGNIZEDWITHDAYSTHROUGHOUTTHEYEAR.世界各國都有自己的母親節(jié)。ManycountrieshaveaMothersDay,thoughtheydon'talwaysfallonthesecondSundayinMaylikeitdoesintheUS,Australia,China,Japan,andIndia.Flowersandgiftsareaworldwidetraditionfortheday,butinThailandparadesareheldandjasmineiscommonlygivenasagift.InSerbia,momsaretiedupwithropeorribbonuntiltheygivesweetsandgiftstotheirchildren.許多國家都有母親節(jié)，不過不一定和美國、澳大利亞、中國、日本、印度一樣是五月的第二個星期日。在母親節(jié)送鮮花和禮物是全球的傳統(tǒng)，

在塞爾維亞，母親們會被用繩子或緞帶捆住，直到她們給孩子發(fā)放糖果和禮物。MANYPEOPLEHONORMULTIPLEMOTHERSINTHEIRLIFE.許多人都會在這一天給多位母親慶祝節(jié)日。You'reprobablyplanningonsendingyourownmomacard,butareyougoingtosendcardstoothermothersaswell?Theaverageconsumerbuys2.8Mother
