Mom's Day
December 22, 2011
Hi
there !
Today,
in my country is mom’s day ~ I think you alr know bout mom’s day, rite ? Maybe
you celebrates it on other date, depends on your country. But don’t you want to
know why my country, Indonesia, celebrates it on Dec 22th ? waeyo ? wei shen me ? ok, let me tell ya ^^
Mom's
day is celebrated nationally on Dec 22th. It’s the day of the
first Indonesian Women Congress from Dec 22th to 25 th 1928.
It was attended by 30 feminist organizations . In Indonesia, feminist
organizations have existed since 1912, inspired by Indonesian heroines of the
19th century, e.g., Kartini, Martha Christina Tiahahu, Cut Nyak
Meutia, Maria Walanda Maramis, Dewi Sartika, Nyai Ahmad Dahlan, Rasuna
Said, etc.
The
idea to make the day official was started during the third Indonesian Women
Congress in 1938. It was signed by President Soekarno under the
Presidential Decree. The day was originally aimed to celebrate the spirit of
Indonesian women and to improve the condition of the nation.
Now mom's
day is celebrated by expressing love and gratitude to mothers. People present
gifts to mothers, such as flowers, hold surprise parties and competitions such
as cooking competition or kebaya wearing competition. People also
allow mothers to have their day off from doing domestic chores.
So now,
you alr know, rite ?
Ok, HAPPY
MOM’S DAY ALL !
