Summer Solstice

My family and I love celebrating the Summer Solstice; we celebrate the summer and make amends. It's a time for us to enjoy food, company, and the outdoors. It's a full-day event; we like to wake up as the sun does and go hiking or for a walk. We open all the windows of our house and let as much of the sun come in as we can, and we clean the house. Like starting from scratch, the solstice is like a New Year's kind of thing for us. An hour or so before the sun sets, we like to head outside and start a bonfire; we eat, and we burn papers with wishes. We like to do something similar in the winter too!
