One of our favorite traditions that we have taken with us from Nebraska is May Day baskets. Last night the kids and I made 100 May Day baskets to take the school to share with teachers and friends.
The real tradition in Nebraska it is that the kids make the May Day baskets then take them to a friends house and put them on the door, ring the doorbell, and run away. If the person inside the house catches the kids before they leave, then they get to kiss the kids . My favorite part of this holiday is that the emphasis is on the kids making the baskets and giving them and not on receiving the baskets.
