Not all Germans celebrate it (except that it corresponds with Labor Day, so they have the day off), not all Brits or Scandinavians celebrate it. I'm just fascinated by the maypoles, and I wish we did stuff like that here in the states. :)Katrina Elisabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083877882755665975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-51849017643027256262014-05-05T12:32:40.275-04:002014-05-05T12:32:40.275-04:00Katrina, Even though I live in Germany, I've n...Katrina, Even though I live in Germany, I've never really witnessed this.

As the first of May is Labour Day, this is a day of political demonstrations and May walks in the countryside here. Though I have never really thought about that it is somewhat different in the south ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454927690107995911noreply@blogger.com
