Mother's Day is always a good day, but again everyday should be Mother's Day.

My Birthday is in May..BTW.. Mother had a big part in that too!

My daughter birthday is in May also, she missed my father (RIP dad) birthday by 30 minutes..so by deduction...my father's birthday in May as well.

In Canada the Holiday, that we refer to as the May 2-4, is technically meant to celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria.

It is celebrated the first Monday on or before the 24th of May.

In Canada, it's the unofficial start of summer, despite the fact that there have been occasions, when it snowed. Us Canadians are a hardy lot and we have been known to still go camping, on that weekend, as long as we could get to a beer store on the way.

Is this another way of saying weird?
