Mother's day like so many other "events" is now a commercial con. Once upon a time mothers day was just a thank you.

TBH, I pretty much agree. However, seeing as I live 140 miles away from my mum, I've sent a card and some vouchers (at least I hope I have - my girlfriend's doing it for me this afternoon
). I never do a lot for Mothers Day, 'cos her birthday was only a week ago and I think that that's more important.
