			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy May Day everyone!&nbsp; I hope you&#39;ve all had a wonderful day.&nbsp; The weather here was mostly warm and sunny, turning to overcast in the evening and ready to rain.&nbsp; I love rain and I love sunny, so it was perfect.&nbsp; </p>
<p>For some reason I&#39;ve always been interested in May Day traditions, but I&#39;ve never celebrated it myself.&nbsp; I especially like the idea of hanging bouquets of flowers on neighbors&#39; doorknobs, although I&#39;ve never actually tried it.&nbsp; Maybe next year.&nbsp; And then there&#39;s the May Pole tradition, where people dance around a pole with ribbons tied to the top.&nbsp; I&#39;ve never seen it actually done, unless that&#39;s what they&#39;re doing in the movie <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/630522577X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=colinandbetha-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=630522577X" target="_blank"><em>My Fair Lady</em> </a>when the kids are dancing with ropes around a pole in the background of the song &quot;A Little Bit of Luck.&quot;&nbsp; Is there a special dance that weaves the ribbons in a certain way around the pole, I wonder?&nbsp; Oh, I just found some on the internet!&nbsp; Very interesting.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Other May Day celebration ideas are here:</p>

<p>Hey!&nbsp; And I just found out that in the United States May 1st is officially a legal holiday called &quot;Loyalty Day,&quot; which started as pretty much an anti-Labor Day/anti-communist day.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Okay, so celebrate May Day as the coming of summer and as Loyalty Day because it&#39;s fun and happy and excuse to be nice to people and ignore the pagan stuff.&nbsp; Yay!</p>
