Mother's day what a great day? I found something very shocking regarding the founder of Mother's day. Turns out Anna Jarvis who started it all did not like it. As soon as she started it she wanted it gone. She began a campaign for its abolition! Shocking, you would have thought the person who founded mother's day would have been proud, guess not. She did not succeed of course. She complained that she wanted it to be “a day of sentiment, not profit,” but instead had become a great opportunity for greeting cards to sell which she saw as “a poor excuse for the letter you are too lazy to write.”(wow someone felt very strongly about this!) According to this research I have done she and her sister spent her family assets trying to end Mother's day! She even got arrested for protesting at a sale of carnations(is this a flower) for Mother's day. She also hated that greeting card companies and florists are getting profit out of this Holiday! It ate at her thinking companies were getting money out of this! And SURPRISE surprise, Anna never had children. If anyone is reading this and don't believe me read this article it's all the proof I need :)
Well have a great Mother's day anyway! I am defying her wishes and making my mom feel special :) Have a great day everyone.
