Mothers Day in Japan
The tradition of exchanging gifts is not seen much in Japan. Instead, children "wish" their mothers with flowers considering it a token of love. Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May and is symbolized by beautiful red carnations, which represent the gentle strength of mothers who are revered in Japanese culture. Children draw pictures of their mothers in school and sometimes enter them in art contests.

Mother's Day in Australia
Another country, which honors Mothers with carnations and other flowers, is Australia. Chrysanthemums are another popular choice, because mothers there are called Mum. Aunts and grandmothers are also acknowledged with gifts. Events are held around this holiday, with many targeted at raising money for women's causes.
I wish all of you a beautiful day filled with love, joy and a little pampering.
We deserve it!
