Does anyone remember May Day celebrations? On May 1st .....?

we used to make paper flower baskets and secretly leave them hanging on friends' doors. I don't think children do this any more.

Does anyone remember May Day celebrations? On May 1st .....?
I remember this as a child. Also, we did a May Pole for our Mothers. I would leave flowers in a a paper basket on the door of my neighbor who was elderly. She loved it.


I will have my son do this on May first to see if we can get it going again.


Thanks for reminding me.
Reply:No children don't do that any more.
Reply:Yes, I also remember the May pole.
Reply:We did that! I loved it. We picked tiny new wildflowers and would put them in the little baskets. I thought perhaps it was just a tradition in small country towns, I've not heard of it out here in the big city. . .
Reply:I remember May day and even to this day put flowers on the porch for my mom and then knock on the door and run around the house. (I am 27 yrs old) My mom looks forward to it every year no matter where we are in our relationship we always come together for this holiday. I am going to teach my daughter about it and hopefully when she understands what she is doing she will take my place and give flowers to her grandma. Happy May Day Y'all

Reply:I never knew people did this, but I think it sounds like a good tradition.
Reply:May 1st is the holiday of the workers of the world. It was celebrated especially in what used to be USSR (Russia)when it was strictly communist.
