Free marketeers, I hope, would understand the following, Mothers Day is just a sop to retailers between Easter and mid Summer/Winter (depends on your hemisphere).
Yes, being a free marketer, I believe that markets should be able to do whatever to create movement of goods, but individuals are able to decide which markets are important to them. No need to purchase things at overpriced rates on this day to help out retailers who should be on top of their game every day of the year.
No gifts to give, no waste of money on cards, but a BBQ with family to celebrate nice food. In this time of Virus and Zoom et al, it is quite impersonal to speak to and see someone on a computer, but heh, I am old fashioned.
The leg of lamb is on the Webber, potato bake in the oven, salads being tossed, bread cut and placed on the table. It will be a nice breaking of bread as the saying goes.
Some food will be eaten, some grog will be drunk, some discussions will be had, and life will be somewhat normal again.
The Chinese Flu restrictions will need to be lifted soon to keep normal human relations going, after all, you cannot really have a dinner via Zoom, you need to be with them.
