Today is arguably the biggest holiday of the year in Sweden. We are celebrating the longest day of the year with lots of dancing and 'cheer'. This is when the traditional May Poles are raised and children dance in folk costumes. Where we are, the sun will be up until about 10:30 p.m. and rises at 2 a.m. (and it never really gets dark in between).

Here is what Wikipedia has on Midsummer, with a section on Sweden about ¾ of the way down the page. www.en.wikipedia.org

Happy Midsummer to all!
