trevlig midsommar!
[that is my place with the pickled herring.] [and then siri taught the non-swedish girls how to make the midsommar crown!] [but i still made everyone wear it!]
Yes! Midsommar is a celebration in Sweden, and in quiet a few other european countries. It's the "summer solstice" but they sing and get drunk and have a grand old time! :)
