Midsummer

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

I’m from Norway and we celebrate Midsummer in late June, Sankthans. I like just walking outside watching people and the places the bonfire is and with the BBQ celebration. I choose sometimes to have several cans of cider being outside, and we live somewhere that’s close to nature so the view we have is absolutely wonderful.

Our summer is short and our winter is very long, so summer time is special to us in ways difficult to explain to even many Norwegian Southerners, they have true Sankthans as well but not Midnight sun like here and they have a slightly shorter winter.

so we have a mix of Christian and pagan tradition during Midsummer, people get together and light bonfires and grill/BBQ celebration outside. And often alcohol for the adults, people should not buy alcopop to underage teens, it’s illegal in Norway.

I’m looking forward to this holiday, thank you for reading this blog ❤ ❤
