Mother’s Day is a day set aside for honoring our mother and is celebrated almost all over the world. It began as a U.S. holiday, being celebrated on the second Sunday of May each year, although over the years the holiday has been adopted by many other countries, and the timing of the holiday may differ depending on where in the world you are. In some countries, Mother’s Day is tied to a specific religious date or has been combined with dates that were already designated to honor mothers, such as Mothering Sunday in the United Kingdom. But no matter where you or your mother may reside, the holiday is always celebrated sometime in either April or May.

Formally known as Secretary’s Day, Administrative Professionals Day falls on a Wednesday during the last full week in April each year. It is not a legal holiday, or even a federal holiday, but has become an unofficial holiday that is recognized by corporations and businesses, both large and small, as a day to show appreciation for support staff. Administrative professionals generally include administrative assistants, secretaries, and receptionists, but can also be expanded to include anyone in an office that offers a supportive role and that deserves to be recognized for their efforts once a year.

Easter is a springtime holiday that always falls on a Sunday between the dates of March 22nd and April 25th, depending on the year. It is a religious holiday, but like Christmas, it is one that has developed many secular traditions over the years as well.

The celebration of Easter is a Christian holiday, and commemorates the date of the resurrection of Christ. It also marks the end of Lent, which is characterized by a period of penance and prayer. Therefore, Easter Sunday is also seen as a day of indulgence and enjoyment of those things that have been given up during the period that precedes the holiday.

Tax day is one of those days that make many people cringe. The thought of April 15th, and the knowledge that your taxes must be completed and mailed to the IRS by that date (not to mention the hefty sums that you may have to send in with your tax return), has caused that mid-April day to be one that is met with a bit of disdain. That is, unless you are an accountant, and then you know that April 15th is the day you get your freedom back and stop working 15 hour days to get everyone else’s tax returns completed in time.
