Happy Midsummer Day / Glad Midsommar!

Jun 19, 2009 15:20

Today it's Midsummer eve and technically, Midsummer Day is tomorrow. This is my favorite holiday.

I know it is not celebrated outside of the Nordic countries which is a shame, since we have so much fun! Dancing, singing, drinking and eating strawberries in truly, enormous amounts. I just love it so much!





This is what we dance around. Though usually it is only kids and their parents that does it. I had so much fun dancing around the Midsommar stången (Midsummer pole) as a kid and singing songs. Nowadays for me, I only drink and eat... and sing some roundelay.
