It's gonna be great
Glad Midsommar alla!! =D
Today's midsummer, which in Sweden is very celebrated as the top summer holiday where we eat a lot of nice food and there are a lot of traditions about picking flowers and dreaming of your true love, or other stuff that's old tradition. And also, we dance around a huge.. well it's called a Maypole in english but it's really something much more funny, we realised when we were gonna explain the holiday to Gen.. xD
We also make these rings of flowers and put on our heads (what on earth can that be called in english, I wonder..) as you can see on the pic with the dogs ^^
Then we dance around the Maypoles (pic 3, they look different from place to place), some people wearing the Swedish national costume.. Not many though =P
The typical food on Midsummer are on pic 4, things like barbeque, potatoes, herring, strawberries, cream, ice cream and other stuff.. And watermelon, and yeah basically whatever you like and it's gonna be summerish food ^^

Wow that sounds like alot of fun. Here in the Us we never really have big group gatherings for parties like that. I wish we did though. LOL

Ah Chris what are you talking about? My family totally celebrates Midsommar. :P
Actually, there's a huge Vasa Midsommar party in California held next weekend (for some reason not this one O.o) that we're going to go to. I can't wait, and I'll be sure to send you pictures to compare with a real Swedish midsommar!
Oh, and we call those flower rings garlands or wreathes or something like that...usually garlands. :)
