It is the small holiday traditions that I will always remember from my childhood. Every "May Day" my mom would help us make the same carmel corn filled, twizzler handled baskets to deliver to friends and family. Now that I have my own kids, I have continued the tradition with them. It is these small things that I love to do with them.
This year though I learned that the original tradition behind "May Day Baskets" was that you rang on the recipients door and then ran. The recipient would then chase after you in hopes of catching and kissing you. I can safely say that I have never taken part in this tradition, but I am thinking of trying to get my kids to do it next year.
