Mother’s Day
Nine years after the first official Mother’s Day, commercialization of the U.S. holiday became so rampant that Anna Jarvis herself became a major opponent of what the holiday had become and spent all her inheritance and the rest of her life fighting what she saw as an abuse of the celebration.
Nevertheless, happy Mother’s Day! I’m in the middle of an absolutely splendid one here at home in Woodbury. Life. Is. Great.
