Smile Happy Mother's Day!
¡Feliz día de las madres! a todas las mamás de México (hoy) y (mañana) a todas las mamás de EEUU también!



El día de las mamás en México siempre es el 10 de mayo. En Estados Unidos siempre es el segundo domingo de mayo (mañana). El año que viene (2009), el día de las mamás caerá el mismo día en los dos países.

Cada país celebra este día en un día diferente. Agregaré el 4 de mayo al calendario para el próximo año.

That's it. It changes from year to year. The first Sunday of May.

Gracias amigos. No sé porqué escribí que iba a agregar el cuatro de mayo. Ya lo metí al calendario como el primer domingo de mayo.

I would say:

The first Sunday of May or
The first Sunday in May.

Thank you, David.


An orthographic correction for you:
  • No sé por qué...
Don't confound with:
  • El porqué de las cosas...
  • Quiero saber el porqué...
Anyway, I don't wish to seem disagreeable, but 90 per cent of Spanish speakers wouldn't make this distinction at all. Only God knows what 90 per cent of the people would write.

I would write it ok. But that's because I'm unusually clever.
