- We have May day on the first day of May. On that day we have a bush called the May bush. At that time of the year the May bush is in bloom. We would stick a bush in the ground and put alot of things on it. We put coloured papers and wild flowers. Very few people puts up a may bush, because it is going out of fashion, and it was a custom long ago. Long ago they used to do more than now.
