Midsummer is a Swedish tradition and I
will describe how we celebrate it.
Often wreaths are made of flowers. They
are called "Midsommarkransar".
At the picture below you can see how my American girl doll Caroline is wearing a "Midsommarkrans".
During Midsummer a pole is also decorated
with flowers, it is called "Midsommarstång". After it is raised
everybody is danced around the pole.
If you pick seven different kinds of
flowers and are completely quiet while you are picking them and then put the
flowers under your pillow before you go to sleep you will dream about the
person you will marry.
At Midsummer it is common to eat
herring, just as we do in Sweden
at Christmas and Easter.
