Sometimes it is hard to live in such a different country, away from our traditions and celebrations.
Mother's day here is celebrated on a different date and all the "publicity" is made in Arabic, so most years, we don't even acknoledge it.
People also celebrate the English date, which is the 4th day of lent.
Can you see where i am going?
Arabic Mother's Day - we don't even realise when it is
English Mother's Day - It has nothing to do with us, MUM
Brazilian Mother's Day ( today) - Ah.... How would you expect us to remember THAT?

Hey, look at us INdians, we do not have a traditional Mother's day but are pretty infected by 'days' of all sorts ;-)
ResponderExcluirMy daughter said she didnt know which country's mother's day is 8th May and went 'oh' when i said, well the UK one was in April!
and oh, my mother would have felt a little bit strange (she too is infected a bit with teh commercial days) if i wished her "happy Mother's day"
