I work with a women from Northern Germany. I asked her about the May Pole celebration when she brought up the fact that she had called her mother in Germany to wish her a Happy May Day. She said, in northern Germany they don't celebrate with the May Pole and ribbons, that it was a southern German celebration. In northern Germany though, May Day is a big celebration time. Most people get out their wagons and take beer and go all over their town getting sloshed! LMAO! I knew I liked the German culture. Well, ya learn something new everyday, huh?

BTW........this woman I work with is the mother to a Cincinatti Bengal tight end (I thing he is). I'd name him but I don't want to be a name dropper. *wondering if anyone is thinking......"There she goes again, off the topic"*
