Mother’s Day is the first Sunday in May. How do we celebrate it and do the mothers impact our economy? There have been some thoughts among the economist in the past, about the value of house work that mothers do and consequently how they enriched our economy. The fact is that they only work for love and affection and Mother’s Day is our opportunity to repay them in kind. I still have my mother alive and well and, being in my forties, therefore, consider Mother’s Day my duty, as well. On the other side, of the coin, there are businesses that will help us to pay homage to our mothers, and they will enjoy Mother’s Day as the opportunity to make money. For most of it might be long awaited and planned opportunity. While talking to some, you will notice the desperation and expectation of business, riding on the event. Many restaurants in Toronto have already planned for celebration, prepared special menus that have been printed or made posting on their websites, hoping to attract a large crowd for Mother’s Day. Flower shops in Toronto are businesses with highest hope and expectation of cashing in. The development is right across Canada. Mother’s Day is an important event, however, on the scale comparing to other holidays, like Valentine’s Day, it is a smaller event-day in comparison. The gift-giving is confined to flowers and dining. Our mothers are loved, but in a different way, we love our wives, lovers and girlfriends. Consequently we spend much more on the later ones, than on our mothers.
