This year, Mother's Day in the UK is March 15 - in the US, it's May 10. Mother's Day sneaks up on you when you're in a different country than your mom. You don't have all the Hallmark advertising around to remind you which Sunday it is, and it's almost impossible to find an appropriate card for such a specific holiday out of season. And, if you forget to send a card on time, it's a lot more complicated to call because of the time difference and dropping by with flowers or bagels for a surprise visit isn't an option.
Jon, of course, planned ahead when he moved to America* and packed a Mother's Day card that he'll send to his mum back in Suffolk tomorrow And now, thanks to the internet, you can find relevant cards from the US to post to the UK in time. So consider this your heads up in case you forgot, British expats in the United States - it's time to get your Mother's Day card in the mail!

ReplyDeletehaha my work here is done.
ReplyDeleteHaha, this is great. Holiday's can either be the greatest thing in the world, or the worst (if you forget about them and let them sneak up on you!). I absolutely love the card.
ReplyDeleteSwedish ones are different too but the one that always gets me is the different Daylight Savings Time days!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how difficult it would be to keep track of this! I love that card. So cutesy!
