Also national holiday here yesterday and today, amounting for 4 free days in a row - the midsummer day, called Jāņi (Johns) is the most celebrated holiday here, probably more so than even Christmas.

Yes. An originally Pagan holiday indeed, but now just a huge part of the culture. I know it's big in some European countries, but probably it's the biggest here - as said, it's bigger than Christmas.

Full PM-box? Change here!

I always found it odd that the biggest holidays in the US were at the times of the year with the worst weather. Then I moved to California.

And donīt listen to Saras, we donīt burn churches or eat babies. There is quite a lot of heavy drinking and fornication though...
