For the Swedes Midsummer is about as important as Yule (Swedish/Scandinavian Christmas). The two opposite holidays have been celebrated since ancient times, they contrast of the dark winter and the light summer was important to the ancestors.
I grew up in NZ (now I live in the UK) and we often have a mid- winter Christmas in June. As we don't get to do the snowy, wintry Christmas in December, it is nice to have a big old Christmas meal at the mid way point of the year. To carry on this tradition, I have a mid summer Christmas here in the UK for family. So they can experience what a NZ Christmas might be like with a BBQ and plenty of beer!
By the way - your little girl is certainly thriving - a low carb lifestyle certainly agrees with her. What a cutie!
What a bonnie little girl!! Happy midsummer. Actually - we are celebrating too. There is a midsummer concert tonight - out of doors, classical music and jazz!
