Hap-py May Day

When I was little, we would make May baskets. We would fill plastic cups with popcorn and candy, cover it with plastic wrap, and attach little handles made from colored pipe cleaners. Then we would go to our neighbors houses, leave them on the doorstep, ring the doorbell and RUN like hell. Rumor was, if we were caught- we would be kissed.

Where did this tradition COME from? What does it have to do with anything???

Did anyone else do this?
