[QUOTE="Ingvar Ahlberg, post: 860232, member: 15447"] Hello friend of heart Stu! Fun "documentary" about the Swedish midsummer celebration and in many ways right, it is ridicoluos, but not incomprehensible, come and live through a Swedish winter and You will understand why we co crazy come the summer. The traditions are actually pagan, goes far back before the vikings, to the bronze age when people up here were sun worshippers, just as those who built Stonehenge or any other of those monuments from forgotten ages. This year summer arrived early, in May we allready had one tropical week, (not below 20 degrees anytime for 24 hours, 7 days in a stretch) The most important facts about the Swedish midsummer celebration thou is not the "frogdance" it is the herring and the fresh potatoes, and the snaps, the "nubbe" which is as all other an interpretation of "the water of life" just as uisge-beatha, eau de vie, or vodka, just a good akvavit, aqua vitae.
