Glad midsommar!
Happy midsummer!
This is
what all are about… expansive strawberries to celebrate the summer. Herring and
fresh new potato and sour cream as well… Nubbe (dram) is also something to remember,
a clear cold OP Anderson served with a song, a nubbevisa (drinking-song) and
the best of the whole midsummer, good friends and family. Seven kinds of flower
in midnight so you have sweet dreams about the one you will married… jumping
over seven fences in silence in the midnight too and you for sure will dream
about your big love. In the daytime we get together and dance around a flower
dressed phallus pole and sing; små grodorna är lustiga att se! We absolutely
get are trust and hope to a sunny day so everything can be as perfect as we
want, but we all know that it´s more a rule that it rain and is cold this day
of the year, but we are very hopeful year after year anyway.
It is a
weekend when people can felt sad and alone, so it´s not just fun and party and
traditional food this day or weekend.
I think
that Swedish people could be very open minds and hospitable, but midsummer is
as I experience it a much closed tradition in many ways. You do what you always
have done and you don’t felt comfortable with new elements that could mess with
the traditions.
