Midsummer

Hello, Orange here!

We celebrate midsummer every year in Sweden. The strange thing is, we always celebrate it on a Friday and Saturday close to the summer solstice, and not on the real day before and after the shortest night of the year. This year, it was many days before the real summer solstice.

It is nice to have a free day which is always on the same weekday, like at Easter. Still, I believe that if any celebration should be moving around the weekdays, midsummer is the day. It is, after all, the astronomical solstice that is celebrated. This should be celebrated on the Eve and Day of the summer solstice.

If you agree, there may be cause for a political campaign?
