Did you even realize that there is such a holiday as "May Day." Well there is and you know what, as a kid, my family celebrated this holiday.
It dates way back, and is not very popular in the United States. If you want to read more information about go here and read the History of May Day.
As a kid, we would always make our baskets the night before and get them ready to be delivered. You would then wake up the next morning and go to different people's houses, such as family and friends, then put your basket on the door or ground (depending on the type of basket you made) and make a beeline so they wouldn't see you. **The trick is you don't want the neighbor to see you! If you get caught, you are supposed to get a kiss.**
I remember celebrating May Day in Nebraska in the little town I grew up in and everyone was familiar with the holiday and participated. After we moved to Tennessee, we did it one year and no one had a clue what it even was. So needless to say, the tradition of celebrating May Day in our family went away.
Happy May Day Everyone!!! Sorry I don't have a little basket for you.
