In the United states Mother's Day is in May also. But Father's Day is in June. I wonder why it is different around the world??

In America, Mother's day falls in the middle of May, on a Sunday and Father's Day is about a month later, falling in the middle of June on a Sunday. I am curious as to how you celebrate both holidays in your country. On Mother's Day, there are bar-b-q's going on but mostly, people take their mom out to lunch. Restaurants are FULL everywhere. Mom's get flowers and sometimes candy. Gifts can really vary but flowers are a big item! On Father's Day, just about everyone in America bar-b-q's - it's the thing to do ... a man thing! And although Dad gets a gift, it might not always be as special as Mom's gift would be. Dad's usually get something practical for the garden, the backyard kitchen or maybe tickets to a sporting event.
