Follow-up on May Day Baskets....

No one commented on my May Day custom of passing out May baskets on May 1st. I looked up the American custom with which I grew up and found out that the "European settlers" or early "immigrants" brought it to the States. But, from where? If any other Americans, or British friends did this, please let me know if you have any information on such a gentle, small token of friendship. My background is Luxembourg and Czech, while other families in the neighborhood were German and English. It was done in my Catholic school, as well.
