Many people need many reason for a celebration, many people need .......NO reason for a celebration.
The Scandinavians.......need very little reason for a celebration.......how about meeting today June 21 and celebrate the longest day of the year ? OK, I'll be over at 4PM in my best clothes and we can start ................and see how long the day will last.
MIDSOMMARFEST was just born ...................the celebration of light, I think but who the hell cares..................pour me another drink and let's start to dance. Just for those that don't know what Midsommar celebrations are all about check out this video. It will give you somewhat of an idea of just what the day includes. The little islands shown and are spoken about actually belong to the Stockholm Archipelago
