Jāņi celebrations

Jāņi is a celebration that takes place in 24th of June. People in my country stay up all night to welcome longest day. We enjoy special cheese woth caraways in it or as we like to call cummins. Older people enjoy beer. At this summer night we like to make head bands from flowers for girls and from tree leaves for boys. If you are adventurous, some people like to jump over a fire pit. We also like to sing and dance.
