Mothers Celebrate Their
Day Working
Although today is
Mother's Day in Costa
Rica, the majority of
mothers will spend the
day, for the second year
in a row, working
instead of spending the
day with family.
The move to bring back
the Mother's Day
celebration on the day
it falls did not make it
in time for year, as the
legislation got bogged
down in the slow process
of the Legislative
Assembly. However, for
2008. Mother's Day is
expected to return to
its natural day.
Although today is a
normal working day, many
have chosen to take the
day off to honour the
traditional celebration.
Although, banks,
businesses, retail
stores, etc. are all
open today though many
will be short staffed
and business activity is
expected to be slow.
The only businesses
expected to be very busy
today are restaurants
and florists.
In many corners of
downtown San José last
night flower vendors
worked into the night
meeting the demand
expected for Mother's
Day.
