As the result of an enormous letter writing campaign and much lobbying, Pennsylvania declared Mother's Day a state holiday in 1913, and Congress followed the following year by making it a national holiday. So, each year, we all reserve a day to celebrate a very special person - our mother. On this day, mothers are honoured by their children of all ages with sentimental cards, potted plants, freedom from chores - and often candy. And, when Americans think about a gift of chocolate, we usually think of HERSHEY'S Chocolates, the sweetest gift a mother can receive.
