Answer: Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day has come to encompass a broader spectrum of relationships, connections, and emotional bonds. It’s becomes a widespread, collective celebration.
The holiday celebrant-range includes everyone! Moms, wives, step-moms, female relatives and friends, divorced parents, single-parents, same-sex and civil union households. It crosses every cultural, ethnic, and religious border, making it the most inclusive holiday on the calendar.
The increase in who is now a “qualified participant” in Mother’s Day has its roots in demographic change. But interestingly, it also tracks with the women’s rights movement. It has become a celebration of women, whether they hold the official title of “Mom” or not. For that reason, Mother’s Day has become both a retailers’ dream – and opportunity!
