"May Day was also celebrated by some early European settlers of the American continent. In some parts of the United States, May Baskets are made. These baskets are small and usually filled with flowers or treats and left at someone's doorstep. When you ring the bell, you are supposed to run away. The person receiving the basket would try to catch the person running away. If they caught the person, a kiss was to be exchanged."
Darn - I didn' tknow about the getting caught and kiss exchanging - If mom had told me that I probably would have 'accidently' fell down the stairs or lost my way home so I'd get caught. hmmm. . . maybe I'll have to 'ding dong ditch' Seth . . . I'd of course have to tell him how the tradition goes though.
