We used to make construction paper baskets, fill them with flowers and hang them on door knobs, knock and run and hide and watch when they opened the door and discovered our "May Baskets".

Don't know about the weather, but the Maypole Dance brings back fond memories. I was a member of the local dance troupe that danced every year. Mint green and pale yellow streamers made of cotton gauze. Our dresses were the same colors and fabrics, headpieces of yellow and green streamers. Everything flowed beautifully as we would weave under and over until we had braided down the pole, then we'd reverse. We were always the hit of the program.
This was in grade school, haven't thought of it in years (I'm 72 years old) LOL
Thanks for the memories.

I grew up in a very poor school district. We couldn't afford the pole, and dancing around the telephone pole didn't make much sense.

Wish I knew. We don't have it either. Anybody else know where it is? Please send it to us too if you do and don't hog it all. lol.

I had my family in for dinner on Sunday and I told them that we would be celebrating May Day.......and they kinda looked at me !!!

Does anyone remember Children's Day?

I believe it was one Sunday in June.

I remember that my Mother would buy us new dresses that we would so proudly wear to Church that day....it had to be white.......along with white shoes and socks, white hat
........we all wore hots to church in those days.........
and of course, white gloves.

Just wondering if anyone else remembers those good old days.

I also remember that my MIL would watch the soap..."as the world turns"
and Penny's father would celebrate her birthday which was May Day by hanging a bouquet on her bedroom door early in the morning.

Things we remember........thank goodness we can remember......
