Day)是英美等国家为了表达对母亲的敬意而设的一个节日。日期是每年的5月第二个星期日（the 2nd Sunday in May）。母亲节起源于19世纪60年代的美国。据说当时在美国 Philadelphia 有一个小地方，人们之间彼此关系不十分友好，经常打架。当时有一位叫 Mrs.Jarvis 的女士希望能改变这种状况，于是她就开始了一个所谓“母亲友谊节”（Mothers Friendship Day）。2024/4/19 周五每逢母亲节，做儿女的会送给自己的母亲节日贺卡（Mothers Day Cards）、鲜花（flowers）以及母亲们喜欢的精美礼物（presents）等，同时，在这一天做父亲的会领着子女们包揽家务，以便让做母亲的有个休息的机会Fathers Day 每年的6月的第三个星期日。主要在美国和加拿大。父亲节(Fathers Day)起源与20世纪初的美国。据说当时在华盛顿州有一位名叫的人，她年幼丧母，兄弟姐妹六人全靠父亲抚养成人。父亲的这种既为人父，又为人母的自我牺牲精神极大地感动了她。长大后，她 积极倡导父亲节，并说服当时华盛顿的Ministerial Society of Spokane作一次特殊的礼拜仪式向父亲们表达敬意。后来在1916年她的建议得到了Woodwork Wilson总统的官方承认。从此父亲节便成为了美国的一项传统节日。按照习惯，父亲节这一天，做孩子的通常一大早就起床给父亲做一顿丰盛的早餐，端到父亲的床头，感谢父亲的养育之恩。另外，父亲节这一天，孩子们还向父亲赠送礼物，所送的一般是父亲喜欢的衣服和爱喝的酒。2024/4/19 周五2024/4/19 周五October 31st is HalloweenHalloween is one of the
