May 1 - May Day

May Day

May 1st is known as May Day. One of the most popularly known May Day traditions is to hang a basket full of spring flowers and/or other small gifts on a neighbor's doorknob. The trick is you don't want the neighbor to see you! If you get caught, you are supposed to get a kiss.

I honestly have never did much to prepare for May Day. It seems to sneak up on me each year. I am just not good with holidays that are the beginning of the month. I need a few days warning that the month has changed and a special day is coming. I have never taken May Day baskets to school for my kids to hand out. The kids and I have brought treats to friend’s houses, rang the door bell and ran, but I am sure that it was not a planned event, it was more of a “Oh, it is May Day – Let’s do something fun.”

I think some of the best memories and surprises are the ones that are not planned out, they are just spur of the moment ideas to bless someone else’s day.
