Yes, I do remember and sorry most of these things have not lasted the threads of time. Some do this.

There was a lady in the LQS Saturday, buying ribbon for a MayDay Celebration at one of our schools, so maybe they are going to bring it back. I hope so. Such fun things our kids and grandkids are missing out on.

I do remember the May pole Days. That is so much fun to think about. Are we getting old? My children never heard of such days. They are 37 and 33. Oh! The good old days !

Don't you wish we could go back to those days? Life was much more simple then! OMG, I sound like my mother. It's official. I AM OLD!!

ohh yes! I would LOVE to relive the 50's and early 60's. Doncha think we all felt safer and happier? Or was that because we were young and didn't know any better?....there was definitely LESS media - and that IS a +!

Reading your post about things being safer, brought back memories when my last child was a baby.

He always took his nap cuddled in his carriage on the front porch.

OMG, who would ever do that these days?

I was a Presbyterian in the 50's in Newark, NJ. Childrens' Day was the second Sunday in June. It was the last of Sunday School for the year until Rally Day (the first Sunday in Sept). There was a program of all the church school classes held in the church sanctuary for the entire church. Of course we wore dresses with filly socks. That was the norm.

It is a shame that OUR children and GRANDCHILDREN will never experience how life was back then. We, ladies, have lived in the very BEST time in history, my opinion.

I don't remember dancing around the maypole but remember seeing it. Do recall making cute little paper baskets and filling them with flowers. We would sneak up to a neighbors door, placing the basket in front of it, ringing the bell and running away.
