Why Taking Mom Out for Brunch is a Cherished American Tradition
Mother’s Day Brunch is one of the busiest dining days of the year, and for good reason. Americans love showing their appreciation for Mom by treating her to a beautiful brunch at her favorite restaurant. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a shared experience, a family gathering, and a time to slow down and say, “Thank you.”
Whether it’s to give her a break from cooking, to pamper her with her favorite foods, or simply to spend time together, going out for brunch has become the go-to tradition for Mother’s Day across the country. And at The Feast, we’re proud to be part of that tradition here in Holmes Beach, where island vibes meet heartfelt hospitality.
The History of Mother’s Day in America
The origins of Mother’s Day in the United States date back to the 19th century. The earliest version was known as “Mother’s Friendship Day,” organized by Ann Reeves Jarvis in the aftermath of the Civil War to promote reconciliation. But it was her daughter, Anna Jarvis, who is credited with founding the official Mother’s Day holiday.
After her mother’s death in 1905, Anna campaigned tirelessly to create a day of national recognition for the sacrifices mothers made for their children. By 1914, her efforts paid off when President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation declaring the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day—a national holiday meant to honor the role of mothers in families and society.
Ironically, Anna Jarvis later fought against the commercialization of Mother’s Day, believing the holiday had strayed too far from its heartfelt roots. Today, while cards, gifts, and flowers are still popular, sharing a meal remains the most meaningful way to connect and celebrate. You can learn more about the origins of Mother’s Day on the History Channel website.
