Happy midsummer /int/bros. How do people in your country celebrate the longest day of the year? What will you be doing today? In Sweden it's a very big deal

I'll be mindlessly driving a golf cart around in a fulfillment center like i do every day to earn enough shekels so i can afford to feed my dog

>>211918645
Does your fulfillment center aknowledge that it's midsummer somehow?

>>211918676
No
What is midsummer celebrations like in your foreign land is it fun

>>211918684
You get day drunk during a family lunch and then you dance around a pole. Then you keep drinking, eating and play games. Allegedly young people have a lot of parties and sex.

>>211918592 (OP)
I'll be at home, preparing for an exam I'll most likely fail

>>211918732
Sounds cool i like the parts about drinking thanks for sharing

>>211918740
Good luck with your exam. Have a beer in a park or something afterwards. You should be celebrating somehow

apparently we call it “nabuníoba”
we don’t celebrate it as much as spring equinox though which is “buniaoba”
both sound funny and archaic

>>211918757
I'll be petitioning making midsummer into scandic americans st. Patricks day. You should all be excused to get drunk today. Would you support me in this endeavor?

>>211918812
>we don’t celebrate it as much as spring equinox
Wouldn't that just be easter?

>>211918840
Spiritually yes but the reality is rent's due on the first so i wouldn't vote for it. Sorry man it is what it is

>>211918803
no time for celebration. The exam has 3 parts, with like a 30 minutes - 60 minutes (or whatever the professor feels like) break in between so we end up spending all day at the campus. After the exam I also have to prepare a bit for a learning program that starts the very next day at a local company.
I'll celebrate after I'm done with that program

>>211918874
In the spirit of scandinavian socialism it will be a paid holiday

Grilling with my dad and brother. That's about it.

>>211918592 (OP)
2 celebrations actually
>christian, mainstream
corpus christi, young girls throw flowers on the road and young boys ring small bells while everyone and the priest goes on a walk
>old polish pagan, very niche
noc kupały, celebrations of the shortest night in the year, young girls throw flowers into the river, girls and boys bathe in rivers/lakes then go in the middle of the night looking for fern flower (you see where its going <333) and a bunch of other things is done

>>211918862
sometimes they don’t coincide but yeah, I’m sure the easter has taken over the equinox’s function of spring celebration

>>211918993
That sounds nice. Completely legit midsummer celebration. What will you be grilling?

>>211919099
Will you be partaking in either?

>>211918592 (OP)
In the last few years I’ve sat home alone and worked as a cab driver for my drunk parents and family friends

So I am gonna order a pizza and play some vidya all day.

>>211918592 (OP)
We celebrate it on the night of june 23/24. Go out in nature, make flower and oak wreathes, sing folk songs around a bonfire and drink obscene amounts of beer.

That film is a grossly subversive Jewish attack on our culture, and on white people in general.

Why can't nordoids into holidays?

>>211920199
both
t. conscious syncretist (unlike regular catholics who are unconscious syncretists)

>>211920308
look at this nerd
so fucking lame, pure cringe

>>211924815
and it's same guy who directed Hostel in which he portrayed Slovakia as some kind of postsoviet murderhole and reinforced all the worst stereotypes about scary evil Eastern Europe
he really loves to pick a somewhat niche place and turn it into a culturally disrespectful baseless caricature

>>211925129
>and it's same guy who directed Hostel
no

In Catalonia we celebrate Sant Joan. It's a day of fire, where we throw a lot of firecrackers, make big fires to burn wood and so on.

>>211925760

Australia is soulless with this stuff. It'll be the shortest day of the year, but I'll do a morning half marathon along the local track and hopefully run past a qt or two. Probably see the family if I have the legs afterwards

Just had a feast for lunch and about 4 beers down. Gonna take a nap in the hammock before barbeque tonight

BWC day right after BBC day

>>211927363

Went to my parents house to eat food and get drunk but I forgot that my sisters would be there with their giant horde of kids so I just snagged a few burgers, drank a beer and then said my head hurts and went home again.
Playing Tarkov now.

Count 9 months back, dumbass

>>211927853

>>211928124
End of March/start of April is the most common birth dates in Sweden because of Midsummer.
People fuck a lot during this holiday. A LOT.
My birthday is in March. My sisters birthday is in March. My older brothers birthday is on April 2nd.
Was the same in my school classes. A big majority of kids are born during those months. 9 months after Midsommar.

>>211918592 (OP)
It's pissing rain and cold here (been 12C all afternoon) and kinda windy.
The usual park where the celebration takes place was empty. The pubs and the hotel bar was packed tho kek.
No midsummer celebration here.

>>211931677
So its the same as for us during our midsummer (Jāņi), does yours include grilling, lots of beer and cheese?

>>211932430
This video explains it perfectly. >>211927853
