Mother's Day - Día de la Madre

For a lot of people today it's Mother's Day. Not so many folks know that this not globally the case. Here in Argentina we don't celebrate it today but the third Sunday (sometimes second) in October. Here it's called Día de la Madre. Other variations are for example a lot of Arab countries (if not all) celebrate it on the first day of Spring (March 21st). Vietnam, Romania and Russia (and some other countries) celebrate it on March 8th, but these 3 call it International Womens Day which is not necessarily the same as Mother's Day. And so you can go on with a whole list of exceptions. If you want to see more of those see here.
