Happy Mother's Day to All You Mothers

It only took nine years after the first official Mother's Day (proclaimed by President Wilson in 1914) to make the leading proponent of Mother's Day, Anna Jarvis, to become opposed to the holiday because it had become overly commercialized.

Nonetheless, of the vast raft of Hallmark Holidays out there, this one is probably the least objectionable. In the pre-nanny, pre-cleanings service, pre-yard service era, mothers were about the only family member who never had a vacation. Families might rent a cabin on a lake, an ocean or up in ski country for a vacation, but one guess as to who still got to cook at least one or two meals a day, make sure the place was kept clean and so on.

So, happy Mother's Day!
