So you have a midsummer-thong?

No I know, I've always found these midsummer poles amusing, but they look really nice.

But Finnish midsummer is eating too much, drinking too much and sauna, so dancing seems a bit.. fancy, maybe :)

I only dance at work with all the small children I work with and its fun. But on my freetime I honestly skip dancing and eat the food and just enjoy being with friends and family :0) ur way in Finland sounds much more fun....lol
Sauna....hmmm maby not but the rest yes. Do u do sauna in the winter to and run out in snow? :0)

Ah, I can't imagine a group of (young) adults to dance together around the pole every midsummer :)

I don't run into the snow in winter, I go ice swimming ;) It's far better!

Not many young people dances any more. Mostly older. I think its more watching others dance is what we do. The pole is beautiful though and a nice tradition.
Ah so iceswimming u say.....so cold :-( lol

It brings warmth to your body :) Water is warmer than air in winter. You should try it sometime!

Ok I can belive that. Kind of like swimming outside in a pool in winter. The air is so cold but the water is warmer :0) but still....grrrrr cold. But I would like to try some day. I can practice in winter out in the snow and a bucket with warm water..... hihihi lol :0)

Haha, what a discussion :D
I'm a Swedish speaking fin so back when I were younger we used to pick loads of flower to decorate the maypole and also to dance around it, we had so much fun.
I assume you guys had a great weekend? :)

We go to a Swedish midsommar party every year here in the U.K. and they always have this big cross decked with flowers and then start singing strange songs and we down schnapps- no idea what they're saying but it's great fun!

It is fun :0) bu a little geeky :0) flowers are beautiful though. Then u must have a good laugh? Lol
