Glad midsommar !
Tomorrow is the longest day of the year and is widely celebrated in Scandinavia, though midsommar is often celebrated on the closest Friday. Still, tomorrow is the real day! If I was in Sweden I’d be toasting aquavit with friends and staying up through the late sunset — and the subsequent sunrise shortly thereafter (may be one hour ).

Officially it’s to commemorate John the Baptist. Usually we collect some flowers and try to raise the midsummer pole and dance around it with some traditional songs.
