Growing up in Iowa, my hometown celebrated May 1st. It's known as May Day. You celebrate it by filling small baskets with goodies (popcorn, flowers, candy, etc) for friends/neighbors. Then you take the baskets to their doorsteps, ring the door bell and then run. Yes, run....because if the neighbor/friend catches you after you ring there doorbell then they can kiss/hug you. As a kid, what can be more fun then getting to ring a bell and then have someone chase you. I remembering loving May Day and this year Anders did too. Here is a picture of him running after leaving baskets on one of our neighbors' door.
I know most people don't celebrate May Day in Texas, so I goggled and found some history on it May Day Baskets. It is something fun...maybe you can try it next year.
