So if you've walked anywhere near a shop as of late, you'll have noticed that they are plastered with signs declaring that Mum's Day is upon us. No, mass corporate greed is not the reason for the absurdly early Mother's Day reminder. (However they probably are responsible for the sheer number of signs and bold lettering.)
Instead of celebrating on the second Sunday in May, here they celebrate Mothering Sunday aka Mum's Day on the fourth Sunday of Lent. So there, you can go and breath a sigh of relief right? Well, maybe. The thing is as Mum's day is celebrated much earlier here than in the US you'll probably run into the dilemma of not having a card to send in May.
This can be remedied by either buying your card now or if you're lazy (like me) you can sign up with Hallmark.com and pick out a card online to send. Unfortunately it won't have you're actual signature in it. But it'll give you a bit more flexibility. Alternatively, you could just skip the card all together and just giver her a ring. Just makes sure its on the right day! (Psst, that would be 9 May!)
