Creating Christmas

Mothers Day vs Fathers Day (with a special guest)


Listen Later

Does celebrating Mothers or Fathers Day ever feel a little…off? And, which came first a day to honor Mom or a celebration of Dad?

Today on Creating Christmas, we go back to the ‘not so distant’ roots of our parent holiday and ask the question - Did Hallmark really invent these days or was there something else going on?

Special Guest today is Dr. Katharine Antolini.

To find out more about the history of these holidays and also the secret behind the complete disappearance of ‘Parents Day’ - check out her book “Memorializing Mothers Day”.
