After years of pushing and fighting and writing, Jarvis' dream was realized when President Woodrow Wilson finally made Mother's Day a national holiday in 1914. It was the best thing to happen to mothers. Until the invention of White Zinfandel. But guess what? Once Mother's Day became an official holiday, Anna Jarvis hated it.

After years of pushing and fighting and writing, Jarvis' dream was realized when President Woodrow Wilson finally made Mother's Day a national holiday in 1914. It was the best thing to happen to mothers. Until the invention of White Zinfandel. But guess what? Once Mother's Day became an official holiday, Anna Jarvis hated it.

She thought her sincere holiday had become a commercialized racket and called the florist and greeting card manufacturers charlatans, bandits, pirates, racketeers, kidnappers, and termites that would undermine with their greed one of the finest, noblest, and truest movements and celebrations. Which basically sounds like how William Shakespeare would give a one-star Yelp review.

Jarvis hated the holidays so much that it soon became her life's work to undo her life's work. She went door to door collecting petitions to take Mother's Day off the calendar. She threatened people who used the phrase Mother's Day with copyright infringement. She got in a fight with Eleanor Roosevelt for using Mother's Day to raise money for charity.

And one time when a waitress told her to enjoy her Mother's Day salad, Jarvis threw the salad on the ground. It's true, you can Google it. Although, don't search for mother tosses salad. Those are not the results you want. I'm trying to get it off the dark web. Oh, you saw it? Yeah. Thank you.

But basically, Anna Jarvis brought Mother's Day into this world, and ever since, it was an endless source of disappointment and frustration in her life, which, ironically, is a pretty perfect metaphor for motherhood. Anyway, that is why the we celebrate Mother's Day. Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna try to enjoy this abomination of a breakfast.
