About Mother's Day
Anna Jarvis started Mother's Day to honor her own mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, who died in 1905. The first service was at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, on May 10, 1908, and she sent 500 white carnations for it. By 1914 Woodrow Wilson had made the second Sunday in May a national day. Jarvis spent her later years fighting the florists and card companies she said had cheapened it, and in 1925 police arrested her at a Philadelphia meeting of the American War Mothers over their carnation sales.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand keep the same Sunday. The UK's Mothering Sunday falls in March or early April instead, and Mexico always marks May 10, whatever the weekday. Restaurants fill up, so it's worth booking brunch a week or two ahead.

How this is calculated
Each midnight takes one off the number. Today is left out and the day itself is counted, so tomorrow shows as 1 day away. Clock changes for daylight saving make no difference.
In Excel or Google Sheets, type =DATE(2027,5,9)-TODAY() into a cell to get the same count; add 1 to include today.
Counted from Saturday, October 17, 2026 (US Eastern time). When you open the page, it counts again from the date on your device, so it matches your own day.
