And it's a double for me because it's also my wife's birthday as well.

You mean like how we invented Mother's Day?

I can't C&P at the mo but just did a quick google and it was as I thought: Mothering Sunday started with the Greeks and then was carried on by the UK etc etc

So erm....?

Nobody had Mother's Day until it was invented in the U.S. -- Australia, Canada and New Zealand adopted the same celebration date as it was in the U.S., while the UK folded it into Mothering Day and now the original intent of "Mothering Day" is largely forgotten.

Nicko, the founder of Mother's Day would agree with you -- after she saw it turned into another commercial holiday, she tried to have it banned. She thought it should be celebrated by hand-writing your mother a letter of appreciation
