Mother’s Day in The Woodlands – where and how to treat her to the best

THE WOODLANDS, TX – This Sunday is Mother’s Day, annually celebrated on the second Sunday of May in the US. As the name implies, it’s a holiday to honor and appreciate mothers. It originated in its current form in 1908 with celebrations in West Virginia and Pennsylvania as the brainchild of Anna Jarvis, and became an official national holiday in 1914 under President Woodrow Wilson.

From its earliest conception by figures like Julia Ward Howe, who suggested a Mother’s Day for peace in 1872 through today, it’s a holiday that has grown each year. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated in more than 100 countries around the world, though the date of celebration may vary.

The holiday is marked by gifts, family gatherings, and expressions of love and gratitude for mothers; traditional gifts include flowers and cards. The day is also a significant day for the restaurant industry, often being the busiest day of the year, with millions of families celebrating with special meals, visits, and other activities to show appreciation for their mothers.

The Woodlands is no slouch when it comes to treating its mother figures right. The Township has a host of events, businesses, and venues ready to help you honor Mom. Especially with brunches, reservations are highly encouraged, if not outright essential. We suggest you call your venues of choice before heading out, just in case.

Here’s a sampling.
