Bonne Fête Des Mères Alizée ~ ♥

[Jess]

France's Fête des Mères: Mother's Day in France is on June 7 this year (2009). A French tradition that was inaugurated by Napoleon and made official in 1950, although this day honoring mothers dates back to Ancient Greece and is found in several other countries.

In France, the tradition calls for a variety of honors for mother. She might receive a gift from her children, or the children might let mom relax, and, as all things in France, it usually culminates in a large dinner in mom's honor. These dinners are usually a major family affair.

The main thrust is that this is a day when, much like in America, mothers do not work and their families cater to their whims. Mothers here also usually get cards and flowers. Sometimes children write short poems for mom.
