Mother's day
Today is Mother's Day here in Portugal.
However, in Korea May 5th is always Children's Day.
As Koreans don't celebrate Easter like here in Portugal,
children don't get presents on that day.
Instead, they get all the presents on Children's Day.
I wondered whether Portuguese have children's Day or not.
So I googled it.
Well, Portuguese Children Day is on June 1st.
But I don't recall seeing any big promotion at shopping centers last year.
Usually for Mother's Day, they have promotions.
I think Mother's Day has become too commercialized.
In Korea, there is no Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Instead there is Parents' Day which falls on May 8th.
When young, I used to make paper carnations with my siblings.
On Parents' Day, we put the flowers on our parents' chests.
You can see people wearing carnations on their left heart all over Korean on May 8th.
Like Freedom day here in Portugal.
