wife appreciation day
or, alternatively
punch day
Which is exactly why I included the images 
Would you be happier if I had written "fruity alcoholic drink usually served in large glass bowls with cups day" 
Garden Tea Punch
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons snipped fresh mint
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup strong brewed tea
- 1/2 1 bottle club soda, chilled
- Fresh mint leaves or rose, calendula, or pansy petals (optional)
- Ice cubes
Directions
In a large stainless-steel or nonreactive saucepan combine the water, sugar, and snipped mint. Bring to boiling; remove from heat and let steep for 20 minutes. Place a sieve lined with 100-percent-cotton cheesecloth over a pitcher or small punch bowl. Strain mixture through the sieve; discard any solids.
Add tea, orange juice, and lemon juice to the mixture, stirring to mix. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Just before serving, slowly pour chilled club soda into mixture; stir gently. If desired, sprinkle with mint leaves. Serve punch over ice.
