It’s almost Mother’s Day. Word.

I like Mother’s Day because I feel like mothers are those people we all take for granted. We all have one…some of us have lost one…some of us feel like we’re stuck with one. But we all came from a mother.

Let’s all take a moment and give thanks to the woman who gave birth to us. Here…I’ll start.

Thanks, Gloria. Thanks for giving birth to me! Since we live on different continents, am I still obligated to buy you a gift??

What are other people wondering? Well, someone asked “What can you give your wife on Mother’s Day if you are broke?” Luckily, folks came to the asker’s rescue. Picnics. Homemade cards. You know the drill.

And then someone else, maybe a little bitter, asked “If you don’t like your stepmother very much what should you give her for Mother’s Day?”

Other folks are still waiting for answers. Can you help any of them out?

• Should you get your mother in law something for mothers day?
• What are some popular Mother’s Day songs that senior citizens will recognize?
• Should a man give his ex-wife a gift on Mother’s Day?

Word to your mother, people. Word. Go ask and answer questions about Mother’s Day now.

I used to hate St. Patrick’s Day as a child. I was always so scared of the boys on the school playground who didn’t really care whether or not the girls were wearing green… we all got pinched. All day long. We could have dressed as asparagus stalks and they’d still have tormented us with pinches.

I’m not bitter.

It did get better though. Once I got to university, the holiday turned into an excuse to drink and dance and try to speak with an Irish accent. No one really pinched anymore. And now I’m a few years out of university and we still drink and dance and try to speak with Irish accents…responsibly, of course.

Doesn’t it seem funny that people outside Ireland celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with such vigor? Where did the holiday originate and why/how has it become such an international affair!? Thanks to WikiAnswers, I wonder no more!

The holiday season is upon us. It’s a time for reflecting on all those important things in life like families and friends…making your lists and checking them twice. You know the drill.

But it’s also a time to ponder really meaningful things like those in our latest WikiAnswers featured topics: Gift Giving and Holidays/Traditions. I mean, who HASN’T wondered what that crazy old grinch wanted with Christmas once he stole it!?

Kick off the holiday season by answering Gift Giving or Holiday questions like the following:

• What is a good Christmas gift for your boss?
• What will be some hot items for Christmas shopping?
• What is a good gift for a 16-year-old?
• How can you help needy families at Christmas?

Happy holidays!

The leaves have changed… The weather has chilled… It must be turkey time!

Thanksgiving Day is a time for giving… and taking.

Like so:

Give answers to someone who needs them:

• What did FDR try to do to Thanksgiving?
• What is the origin of Canadian Thanksgiving holiday?
• How many turkeys are cooked on Thanksgiving?
• How are the NFL teams picked to play on Thanksgiving?

…And take answers from people who already know:

• Why is Thanksgiving always on a Thursday?
• How do you say Thanksgiving in French?
• Which department store held the first Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thanksgiving?
• What is another name sometimes given for Thanksgiving?
  

Happy Thanksgiving!
