Folk Culture Holiday Analysis

Mothers Day. Almost everybody celebrates it at one time in their life, because almost everybody has a mother. The messages that Mother's day send to America is that you should value your mother, for at least one day a year. It's when people do for their mother, what their mother has done for them most of their lives. You take them out for dinner, dress nicely, basically be super nice to them all day. Anyone who breaks that code has no respect for their mother, unless their mother was a complete ass hole to them growing up. One contradictory message within the holiday is that you only do this 1 day a year, when your mother did it for you your whole childhood. I think there should be a mothers week at least.
