May Basket

[bigtiller]

Have you delivered your's yet? No? Here is how to make the basket. Next, fill it up with candy, hang it on your friends doorknob, ring the door bell and run away before they see you.

I don't think my wife would like me to do that...neighbor wife down the road will catch your eye every time.

I had to Google "May baskets." That tradition had already died out, if it ever existed, in the part of NC were I was raised.

I just had a flashback. When I was in the 1st or 2nd grade (1953-54), my school had a May Pole dance. I remember that I had to wear a set of long underwear that my Mom had dyed green -- I suppose I was portraying an elf.

I don't remember another such dance. It may have been a one-off event or the end of a tradition.:confused3:

I think it died out here long ago too. But the Sadie Hawkins dance is still popular.

Turn it into a new tradition, wait 3 more days and put a 6 pack of cerveza in the basket.:drink:

I need to get out more often -- I had to look up "cerveza."
