May 1st has been a spring holiday of some form or another for a long time. As Christianity grew in popularity it got overshadowed by Easter but some rural areas (and a handful of non-rural areas) of Europe and America have continued to have various celebrations to this day. The commies tried to take it over in the 20th century and kind of succeeded since they have the most well known May Day celebration. But not everybody celebrating May Day is a commie.

Also folks should remember that Monday is a fairly standard day for fancy restaurants to be closed. There's a host of non-commie and non-immigration related reasons for businesses to be closed today, do a little research before you start your boycott.

" There's a host of non-commie and non-immigration related reasons for businesses to be closed today, do a little research before you start your boycott."

I haven't started a boycott. I was just pointing out that Mayday didn't have anything to do with Communism in the little town I was born in.

It was a day to give little things to the other kids in the neighborhood without them ever knowing who dropped them off and rang the doorbell.

I think it started long before Communism did.
