Mother's Day

is a real-life holiday that characters celebrate on the second Sunday of May every year. The first episode centered on the holiday is "Mom, Lies, and Videotape," the twentieth episode of Season 7 and the one-hundred-and-twenty-seventh episode overall.
==Description==
People mainly celebrate the holiday to show appreciation to their mothers and everyone who's a mother. Bob, Tina, Gene, and Louise often try to show their gratitude to Linda by getting her something for the holiday, like how they got her a massage from an "almost certified" massage therapist in "Amelia."
It has importance outside the Belcher family, as well, shown by how they had an assembly at Wagstaff in "Mom, Lies, and Videotapes" for the holiday (although Gene claimed the assembly was the "Mothers and Primary Caregivers Appreciation Cabaret").

==Trivia==
*Three of the episodes centered around the holiday are the 21st episode of their production seasons, which are "Tell Me Dumb Thing Good," "Sauce Side Story," and "Amelia." They are also episodes from consecutive seasons.
*"Eat, Spray, Linda" was originally meant to be an episode centered on the holiday but was changed to focus on Linda's birthday after some uncertainty over when the episode would air (see BOB'S BURGERS Behind BOB'S BURGERS Live Episode 9). It would've been the first episode centered on the holiday.
*"Mo Mommy Mo Problems" and "Sauce Side Story" are the only episodes to air on the holiday. "Mom, Lies, and Videotape" aired the week before the holiday, and "Tell Me Dumb Thing Good" and "Amelia" aired the week after.
*Despite celebrating the holiday, how the Belcher kids feel about it is unknown. According to a ranking of holidays by Louise, with some input from Tina and Gene, their family's favorite "holiday" is Louise's birthday. They list other holidays and "holidays" that they like less and less before reaching Thanksgiving ("An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal"), but they don't mention the holiday. It suggests that the holiday ranks less than Thanksgiving.
*Since The Bob's Burgers Movie was released on May 27, 2022, the same month as the holiday, the holiday also got featured in multiple of its promotions.https://youtu.be/5XuREWj8kpM?si=uXagpasBpbBNig9Yhttps://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1728399734193021
*"Putts-giving" also mentions the holiday.
*Father's Day, a similar holiday for fathers, first gets mentioned in "Crawl Space," but an episode has yet to center around it.
*In a FOX press release, the Belcher kids reveal what they plan on gifting Linda: Tina states she'll clean her mom's glasses, Gene says he'll make her wait for his hugs, and Louise will gift her a piece of paper with a scribbled shape and her signature.http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2012/05/07/fox-gives-moms-a-special-gift-with-all-new-animation-domination-episodes-and-season-finale-of-american-dad-this-mothers-day-sunday-may-13-708112/20120507fox01/
