In the UK, Mother's Day takes place on the same day as the traditional Christian day Mothering Sunday. This happens on the fourth Sunday during the Christian period of Lent. It used to be a day for people to go and visit the church where they were baptised, or attend their regular church as a child, which is called their mother church. This means that the date Mother's Day falls on changes every year, even though it is no longer treated as a religious celebration in the mainstream. Nowadays, Mother's Day is about celebrating mums and maternal figures who we want to show our gratitude and love for. Often people will send flowers, cards and children will hand-make gifts and keepsakes to give to their mum as a surprise.

New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, the day before New Year's Day.
