\nMother\u2019s Day is celebrated around the globe with fun and festivities but not all countries celebrate it on the same date. In U.S.A, Australia, Canada and some other countries, it is celebrated on second Sunday in the month of May and although this is the most popular date, it is not in unison with other countries. Here are few examples where Mother\u2019s Day is celebrated on a different date than U.S.A:<\/p>\n

Many countries took in U.S tradition and date for celebrating Mother\u2019s Day<\/a>. Norway is the only country celebrating the day in February. No matter what the reason is, it is always good to have a day dedicated to a woman who has done more for us than anybody else.<\/p>\n
