I can remember loving MAY DAY as a child!
Construction paper baskets filled with sweet,
yellow flowers and it was off to the neighbors
to deliver each a May Day basket. Sounds to
me like early days of celebrating Beltane, for
me, the most fun of all Pagan holidays. Still,
it wasn't until I lived in Mexico for 20 years
that I truly came to appreciate Día del Trabajo,
Mexico's Labor Day. Growing up, we went to
school from Labor Day to Memorial Day. So,
you can appreciate my childhood context for
Labor Day. Día del Trabajo, on the other hand,
supports fiestas, marching bands, parades and
speeches. And speaking of fiestas, I bow to the
whole May Day basket of Beltane . . . the
anticipation, preparations, celebrations and any
other 'tions' you can think of. Here's wishing
you and yours the best May Day ever . . .
you call it may day
