Midsummer in Sweden

We celebrated midsummer this friday and I just got a good laugh when I found this IKEA-commercail spoofing everything that has to do with swedish midsummer. Swedish midsummer actually involves all these things... but of course the ad is very exaggerated Smile

RE: Midsummer in Sweden

I mean, the way we celebrates midsummer reminds a lot about the Wicker Man, except the sex and the human sacrifices Wink

The dancing around the pole (that looks like a big cock, with balls and everything) is an important tradition. Both grown-ups and children dances likes frogs (one of many dances) and sings about the frogs... I'm not kidding.

The clothes are realy, but of course it's only people caring about old traditions that wear them.

And then there's a large amount of booze. All night long.

Well, don't know what to say really...
