Today is May day where I grew up. we had a special tradition - the kids made May baskets and would put them on door steps of the friends and loved ones - These were filled with sweets or flowers.

What lovely tradition you have. I like this month very much. I am Catholic and May is the Virgin Mary month, and in my school we wrote songs for her and make a festival to celebrate her month, many flowers everywhere. I remember all of that with love and nostalgia. Flower and XoXo
44254Dionna, what a lovely thing to do. My first school (5yrs to 11yrs) used to dance around the Maypole as a tradition. Our Parents, anybody & everybody came along to watch and we all loved it. Ribbons in our hair and swirling skirts . . . . . . memories, they're wonderful!

145305Dlonna, hugs and a beautiful May basket, filled with fresh spring flowers for you sweetie.
13558We did the same thing as children little baskets that we filled with flowers(most of them wild) hung them on doorknobs or sat them on porch steps knocked & then ran & hid so we could see them when they found them. They just don't do things like that anymore do they *4U
