Here you see the Christian versus pagan view of this holiday. When growing up in 1960s small town Minnesota, this had become for Us just more of a children's holiday where we made our own may day baskets which we brought to friends' houses. I remember also may poles with ribbons, dance, and wearing flowers, a dance would be put on by our town Nice, very non pagan.
Again, the idea was to have a substitute holiday for Christians falling on the same day with the same name.
Otherwise it was a pagan holiday that had very bad morals. Some where in America and Europe they are wanting to celebrate "old school."
