Mother's Day

Being a global citizen and all, I found this to be amazingly interesting.... It would appear that the 14th May is the most common date for Mother's Day around the world - but it goes to show how much variety there is!

Although that is the clearest, it turns out of course, that it's DAY not DATE driven, so it really should be:
 
Argentina – Second Sunday in October
France – Last Sunday in May
Lebanon – First day of Spring
Norway – Second Sunday in February
South Africa – First Sunday in May
Sweden – Last Sunday in May
Yugoslavia, specifically the Serbians – Two weeks before Christmas
