Drove to my dad's and stepmum's house to celebrate midsummer yesterday. It was the perfect day for celebrations. When it's that hot and sunny there's something magical about the whole tradition.
Short description for people that has no idea about midsummer.
1. We meet up around noon, dress this cross that resembles the dick with leaves and flowers.

2. We eat, a lot. And drink, a lot. SNAPS is the not-so-tasty liqour we toast every 5 min with.

I can miss any other holiday, but Midsummer is sacred, and the year I will miss out on tradition I will be very sad. This year was a bit different than earlier years, but still awesome and today we walked to a lake where I took my first dip for the the year. It was soooo awesome.
