Restaurants Offer Mother's Day Specials

Restaurants Offer Mother's Day SpecialsDid you know that 2008 is the 100th anniversary of Mother's Day? Contrary to popular belief, the holiday wasn't invented by Hallmark, but rather by a West Virginia woman who wanted a special day to memorialize moms. (It's interesting to note, however, that founder Ann Jarvis was disavowing the holiday as early as 1917 because it had become so commercialized.)

Mother's Day is the most popular day of the year to dine out, according to the National Restaurant Association.

The association estimates that six out of 10 Americans will eat their Mother's Day meal at a restaurant.
