Midsommar celebrations

Swedish midsummer is celebrated by dancing around a big pole and singing, the pole celebrates fertility and it symbolizes a female reproductive system. Some Swedish midsummer might differ, my family eats hearing with potatoes and usually some kind of fish. With that people usually enjoy alcohol to it, one of the songs we have is about small frogs that are difficult to see. My family usually celebrates midsummer at home, we might invite close family or we celebrate alone
