We think May Day gets short shrift round these parts. While it may not be a clearly defined holiday — it is, in fact, a catch-all name for an assortment of often unrelated holidays, among them International Workers' Day, the Spring Bank Holiday in the U.K., Hawaii's Lei Day, Northern Europe's Walpurgis Night (with its delicious echoes of Dracula), the Celtic Beltane, and more recently, EuroMayDay — we just think dancing around a Maypole for any reason is the best thing ever.
