Mother’s Day

In Finland, mothers are celebrated on the second Sunday of May.  In Mexico, the date is fixed on May 10th.  Therefore, yesterday was the first in  long time when I could celebrate at the same time with my mom and my in-laws.

Other than that, traditions are relatively similar.  Family lunch and maybe some gifts or cards for the päivänsankari / homenajeada.
