    I gone a give you some exotic thing, today is the midsummer day in sweden, this is one of the most important days in our country, when peopel go out celebrate the day when the sun is upp almost evry our, in some places 24 our sun.

    We use to putt upp a long woodstock , and then dance around it , this is ofcourse not anything for us as JW, something widh fallows symbols,as the Gb say, but we look in stealthily.....

    greatings froom the land in north, where the sun always are shining.

    Now there's something else I'll never understand...

    Why is the first day of summer called "midsummer day"?

    Does this mean my only opportunity this year to have a "midsummer night's dream" is tonight?

    I'm so confuuuused!!!

    On this day, you can pick 7 sorts of flowers, and putt them under your pilloow, and inn the night you have a dream who tel you who you gone to married.

    For us in sweden this day is not the beggining of the summer, it is the end of the time when it being lighter and lighter, from this day it will bee darker and darker, untill the darkest day in december.

    Too late, I'm already married. So if I put the flowers under my pillow, will I dream about my wife?

    Hmmm, this sounds a little like superstition to me, happy man. I thought JW's didn't believe in superstitions like that, unless there's been some NEW LIGHT on the matter in recent months. SOMEBODY CALL THE ELLLL-DERZZZZ !!!
