Tiny example story

Imagine you’re in London and your sister lives in New York.
You’d buy flowers and call your mum on March 15, 2026 (UK Mothering Sunday), while your sister would send gifts and FaceTime on May 10, 2026 (US Mother’s Day). Same mum, two different “mithers days” because the UK follows the church calendar and the US follows the second Sunday in May.
