When are Mother's Day and Father's Day? Father's Day is not as popular as Mother's Day.

The second Sunday in May is Mother's Day, and the third Sunday in June is the traditional American Father's Day.

In order to thank their parents for their cultivation, Americans set up two traditional festivals in May and June every year-Mother's Day and Father's Day.

In America, people celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day was initiated by Anna Chavez. 1906 On May 9, Anna's mother, Mrs. Chá vez, passed away, and she was very sad. Mrs Chavez is an ordinary mother, kind, considerate, hardworking and kind. Like millions of ordinary mothers, she is engaged in her own career and bears the responsibility of being a mother.

The following year, on the anniversary of Mrs. Chavez's death, Anna proposed to set up a festival to celebrate great maternal love. After the meeting, she gave speeches everywhere, wrote a lot of letters to all walks of life, and sent thousands of letters calling for the establishment of Mother's Day, so that ordinary mothers could be respected by people. Her initiative has been widely praised and supported by all walks of life. She chooses the second Sunday of May every year as Mother's Day.

The Presbyterian Church in Seattle, USA, took the lead in celebrating maternal love and took Dianthus, which Anna's mother loved before her death, as a symbol of Mother's Day. In May every year, Dianthus blooms, as if a mother had taken pains to raise her children. People usually wear carnations. Those who wear white flowers indicate that their mother has died, and those who wear red flowers indicate that their mother is still alive.

Mark Twain, an American writer, once wrote to Nana Chavez in Philadelphia on behalf of the American people, saying, "For the rest of my life, I will wear the white carnation, a symbol of purity and love on Mother's Day."

By 1924, President John Calvin Coolidge suggested that Father's Day be extended to the whole country. Since then, Father's Day has become popular all over the country, which symbolizes the father's responsibility and love for his children.

Father's Day is set on the third Sunday in June every year. A red rose and a white rose symbolize Father's Day and are all over the streets. The children politely presented a bunch of Cambodian roses to their father as a token of their love. Children working in other places should call their fathers or send greeting cards to congratulate and pay tribute to the elderly. Anyone who calls his father to congratulate the festival on Father's Day can talk for 3 minutes for free, which has become a unified rule in all parts of the United States.

Father's Day is not as good as Mother's Day.

According to a survey by a women's magazine in the United States, the average value of gifts received by American mothers on Mother's Day is about 100, while the average value of gifts received by fathers on Father's Day is only 40 dollars. American mothers received 65.438+0.6 billion congratulations from their children, while fathers only received 654.38+0.654.38+0.0 billion congratulations from their children on Father's Day, half of which were "collect calls" and bought by themselves.

In addition, 78% of mothers were invited to a restaurant on Mother's Day, while only 23% of fathers enjoyed this courtesy on Father's Day. On Mother's Day, flower sales in the United States account for about 25% of the annual holiday flower sales, while on Father's Day, flower sales are not even the last.

The results of the magazine's last survey made American fathers even more disappointed. Among the adults surveyed, only 1.3% admitted to forgetting Mother's Day, while as many as 36% admitted to forgetting Father's Day. There is a big difference between the two. No wonder many dads can't stand it. On this day, more than 50 angry fathers took to the streets of new york. Some fathers said that 26% of them received a pair of worthless socks on Father's Day, some deliberately wore exaggerated cheap ties, and some wore outdated underwear outside their pants to express their dissatisfaction in a "comedy way".
