Do you guys all fill baskets for May Day where you live? The kids are just finishing up ours for tomorrow and they look cute.

Your quote about cheerleading practice was quite funny. Laughing
May 1st (may day) the kids fill little homemade paper baskets (or cool cups when you're short on time) and put a little popcorn, candies, maybe leftover easter grass, put them on friends doorsteps. The tradition when I was little was to knock on doors, put it down, and run. Now we prefer to know where the treats come from Smile
