Mother-in-Law Day
Annually, on the fourth Sunday of October, the international Mother-in-Law Day is celebrated, which honors the woman who gave birth to the love of your life. In the USA, this holiday is national, but it does not have official status. Such a celebration can be called unusual, but it has many supporters around the world.
Mother-in-Law Day dates back to 1934. Then, on March 5, the editor of a Texas newspaper, Gene Howe, noted in his publication that it would be fair to celebrate, in addition to Mother's and Father's Days, also Mother-in-Law Day, because she is a second mother. There is no official confirmation of this story, but today it is perceived as reliable.
Over time, not only mothers-in-law but also mothers-in-law began to be congratulated.
Motorist and Road Worker Day
On the last Sunday of October, Motorist and Road Worker Day is celebrated. This day was approved by a decree of the President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk in 1993. The event is an official professional holiday for employees of road transport and road management. This day is celebrated not only by people working in these areas of activity, but also by many amateur motorists.
The history of the holiday began somewhat earlier. On October 1, 1980, the Supreme Council of the USSR established a link of festive dates, among which was Motorist Day or Driver's Day. In independent Ukraine, it was decided to "reconcile" motorists and road workers, so the holiday was made common for all road users and road workers.
Festive events also concern people who are engaged in vehicle maintenance and car repair: tire fitters, auto mechanics, mechanics, auto engineers and designers, heads of motor transport enterprises.
