    The two days are celebrated(庆祝)in many different ways. On Mother’ s Day, people wear carnations. Wearing a red one means having a living mother, while a white one shows that the mother is dead. It’ s also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at homes as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues(烧烤聚会)for Father’ s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings.

It’ s not the value of the gift that is important, but the love for the parents. Card shops, florists, candy makers, phone companies and other shops do lots of business during these holidays.
