The Midsummer Festival

Every year on the 25th or 26th of June, the Swedish people celebrate a very interesting event. The Swedish Midsummer; back in the old days, today has the longest sun ever during their short summer days. Usually the sun would be visible for up to 10 hours on this day.

I like it during Midsummer. Everybody is merry, everybody is happy. You can feel it in the air that it is a celebration.

My mother-in-law usually prepare a lot of food on this day. Sometimes the whole neighborhood will be here, most of the time we have a big feast just within our family.

After the big feast, the tradition of drinking shnapps, or shots are consumed and then everybody became very loud and funny.
