May Day!

It's almost time to knock on someone's door and run.  No, I'm not talking about some kind of prank, it's called May Day!  Back in the day, I filled cute little baskets with candy and my mom would take me around to deliver the baskets. The goal was to leave the basket, knock on the door and run back to the car without getting caught.  When I returned home, I would be happy to find several May Baskets left at my front door as well.  Does anyone celebrate May Day or even know what I'm talking about?  I want to keep the tradition alive and that's why I came up with something fun!

Dancing the Maypole!

Every year May Day comes and goes without celebration.  Back in the day and I do mean the day, I not only ran door to door passing out May Baskets, I actually "danced" around the May Pole.  It was a huge celebration at my school, so huge, we had a May Day Program.  We practiced for days, weaving in and out, getting tangled, untangled, practiced and practiced. 

 

One of the years, we all dressed up from different countries, I was dressed from Sweden, with the cutest little dress and wooden shoes.  I don't remember exactly, but I do think it was hard to dance around the May Pole in wooden shoes.  Imagine.

 

For years I've wanted to have a May Day Party and dance around the May Pole for old times sake.  Because it won't happen any time soon, I decided to let my cupcakes do the dancing.

Just in case you don't have time to make the basket I showed yesterday, I have an another idea. No May stories today, just simple sweet May Baskets!
