@annakristina100 No! Not at all! We just want to be there too and enjoy Midsommar, it must be hauntingly beautiful :) Some days ago I received a long description of a midsommar and all that belongs to it in a huge letter - and I was thrilled!
yeah it's so beautiful <3 and yes it is fun to dance around the midsommer pole, but also, it was a long time since I got the chance to do it .... was the most when I was younger .... i rely miss it every Midsummer really ... and it's really good food:) But, I do not drink as some do!
... and in norway we light gigantic fires and watch it buuuuurn!!!! and in danmark they do the same just with a witch-doll stuffed with fireworks on the top
What's that poor excuse for a maypole! They've just gift wrapped a flagpole! Now how is it supposed to represent the female and male 'parts'? Who pc'd this!?
Why don't we have traditions like this in America? You know what, U.S.? Screw it. I'm dancing around a Maypole this year, I don't give a damn how many people stare. And I'll get my Freshman class to do it too (whether they like it or not.)
Hmm my Swedish girlfriend (probably wisely) never mentioned this event with it XDDD lol. that's what you get when you're Dutch and only celebrate things like Queensday X)
@chibiXchibiXai Well the Caramelldansen-song is in Swedish so I suppose they might have gotten some of the dance from "Små grodorna" that you see here.
People from all cultures around the world have always celebrated the astronomical fact where the sun reaches its orbital peak, both in summer and winter.
In Cuzco, the Incas celebrated this date already one thousand years ago. Its therefore a global, pagan tradition, but everybody have their own way of celebrating it.
Unfortunately, neo-fascist and rasist groups such as the Swedish DemocRATS use this wonderful tradition to spread intolerance and rasism within the Swedish population.
This song has been stuck in my head all day.
