Algunos países del mundo celebran el día de las madres el segundo domingo del mes de mayo mientras que en México siempre lo celebramos el día 10 de mayo (caiga en el día que caiga). Hoy coincide que el 10 de mayo cayó en el segundo domingo del mes así que en México y el resto del mundo celebraremos a nuestras madres el mismo día. ¡Feliz Día de las Madres!
