I heard that too, but you see, the problem is that Mother's Day had been celebrated in Poland already before WW2, way before the communists got hold of it. Then again, I heard a very similar story about Women's Day (now THAT was a cool commie invention!). Hi Basia, hear hear... I wouldn't trade either! :) Hi Elizabeth!

How utterly barbaric. Where is the breakfast in bed? the flowers on a tray? a fancy brunch so mom doesn't have to cook? No thanks, this is one holiday I will not trade.

They wanted nothing to do with tying it to the church like the American version on Sunday. They wanted to have holidays to paint a nice picture of communism. Holidays, like Children's Day & Grandparent's Day and so on. Very secular. Nice blog topic! I read somewhere that the reason Mother’s day is during the week is because that was communist invention.
