Have Your Mother’s Day Delivered

Yes, some (most?) moms enjoy preparing the family meal for holiday gatherings, including the day that is designated to honor them.  However, that doesn’t make it right.  Should you, then, prepare and cook the family meal this Mother’s Day?  Yeah, I thought not.  Who wants to spend the day in the kitchen planning, cooking and serving the Mother’s Day meal?

What’s the alternative; hauling mom out of her home to drive to an overpriced restaurant to wait 30 minutes to be seated and then served a mediocre, overcooked meal?  I think not. There’s got to be a better way, and there is; have MagicKitchen prepare and deliver a delicious meal, from soup to nuts (or at least soup to dessert) directly to your door.

They are then flash-frozen to lock in freshness, packed in dry ice and then shipped to your, or your mom’s, door.  All that’s required of you is to heat and serve.  No visits to the grocery store, no chopping, dicing, mincing, no cooking…just heat and serve to “…the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world.”  And that would be your mother.

Since I know you’re all curious about who made the above quote, I’ll answer that question with a bit of the history behind Mother’s Day.  The “mother of Mother’s Day,” and person who made that quote, was Anna Jarvis.  Her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, was a peace activist who tended to both Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War and advocated for various public health issues.  The elder Jarvis died in 1905 and her daughter, Anna, held a memorial to honor her in 1908, which is considered the first Mother’s Day celebration in the United States.

Anna Jarvis then worked tirelessly to create a national holiday in order to honor mothers across the country.  By 1911, all the states recognized their own Mother’s Day and President Woodrow Wilson finally signed a proclamation in 1914 which created a national holiday to honor mothers on the second Sunday of every May.  However, the story doesn’t end there.

Jarvis, upset by the over-commercialization of Mother’s Day, especially in the form of greeting cards, then worked just as tirelessly to keep the holiday as she envisioned it; that of a quiet commemoration of mothers in the form of family gatherings during which sons and daughters expressed their gratitude to their moms in verbal form or in thoughtful, hand-written letters.  Jarvis actually went so far as to get arrested for disturbing the peace in her efforts to keep Mother’s Day an un-commercialized holiday.  As we all know, she failed in her efforts as Mother’s Day is now the most commercialized holiday behind only Christmas, with over $14 billion in annual sales.
