Happy Solstice from your Catholic friend!

 

Stonehenge would have been a sight to see with all those folks there. Usually it's got that steady line of folks walking around it. I can just imagine having folks celebrating and partying in the area. Hey, I think it's good to put it use for celebrating. Probably more of what it was meant to be in the first place.

Get your filthy hippie hands off our damn holiday!! The only reason we celebrated midsummer friday instead of today is because you cant get as drunk on a Sunday.

I agree with Kaftan. Midsummer friday is one of the best drinking times ever.

We celebrate it on the 23rd instead.. and then build a huge fire, put a fake witch on it and burn her, while we dance and sing around the fire.. Talk about evil Christian holiday take-overs.. haha

 

I like the Swedish version better, although it's essentially the same (drinking).

Fortune favors the bald.

I'm trying to figure out what sexual act <> represents. Based on the pagans I know, you should add a wildcard:

 

hippies <*> pagans

Whatever it means, these crystal-collecting, enya-listening, insense-burning, moronic twits should stop trying to kidnap midsummer and turn it into something sexually ambigious. We Scandinavians were the only ones who kept celebrating even after we were christened, and that gives us the right to claim dibs on the whole shebang. You snooze(or go full christian), you lose.

 

 

A big old "cease and desist" to all smelly hippies and goths who try to make midsummer about something else than getting pissed and singing songs about tiny frogs.

Says the guy who comes from a region where the solstice celebrations was adopted not founded itself (Greeks get that gold star). Hypocrite perchance? And your region is not the only area that still celebrated it on some level even after Christianity screwed everything up. Still a popular event and pagan holiday on the British isles for example, a tradition that predates Christianity on the isle in fact. They lite bone fires in celebration that continue to this day.

Hey, rat bastards, I'm Catholic. I can booze it up guilt free. Damn bunch of hippies, pagans, and drunk norsemen (yeah, like that's not redundant). No need to let your sloppy beer brawling ways harsh my buzz. ...And there was fire roasted boar before Christianity too, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to partake.

...is there such a thing as an adopted Christian? :grin:

 

I'm a follower a Pragmatism. I believe in what gets the job done, hedonism, scepticispm, moral relativism and everything included. Unfortunately, roast boar and mead seems in short supply here Down Under :)

 

Edit: Happy "summer" Solstice to those living up north.

Pfft. Every festival ever created comes down to drinking and having fun for common folk. If not then you

This midsummer was great. Booze, sun and bbq at the summer cottage do wonders to a mans spirit.
