Happy May Day!

Many countries celebrate May Day on May 1. May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labor Day, which celebrates the social and economic achievements of the labor movement. As a day of celebration the holiday has ancient origins. Traditions surrounding May Day vary from region to region and country to country, but one thing is common – the use of flowers! Flowers and ribbon are used to adorn May Day Poles in many countries and one popular tradition is to secretly hang a basket of flowers or other small gifts on the doorknob of neighbors. Happy Spring!
