annie Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 Congratulations neighbor! Pretty good weather too! Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 6, 2004 Author Posted June 6, 2004 Thanks. Its one of the last days with good weather if the weatherguys are correct. Quote
Ninepatch Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 A wave across the big pond to all the folks in Sweden for lovely weather and good times on your National Day! Thomas - how is it celebrated, if you don't mind sharing? I think our National Day is probably the 4th of July, also called Independence Day. We celebrate it with local parades, family picnics and barbecues, band concerts and usually big fireworks displays at the end of the day. I live on one of the Great Lakes so a lot of activities around here are focused on sailing. Quote

Deverill Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 You knew its flag day too Jim? I have to keep up with the important things in my friend's lives. Even if they are very far away. Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Happy National Day (Sveriges Nationaldag) to all my Swedish friends, here is hoping it will be full holiday next year Thumbs Up Quote
Deverill Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 here is hoping it will be full holiday next year Thumbs Up Indeed, what's the point in having a holiday if you have to go to work. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 Swedish national day will be a holiday from next year. Of course the politicians are skipping one of the other holidays we have, but i guess we cant get everything. Speaking of that, i said earlier in this thread we dont party as much as our norwegian neighbours In Norway its a huge tradition to celebrate the national day (correct me if im wrong Annie), in Sweden, its nada celebration except for the the royalties who gives away some stuff to people who have done good things. Thats it, the average swede goes to work as usual if not on a Sat or Sun. The politicians hopes to change that next year. Will they succeed? How can they if the national day is on a saturday and the average swede is off work on sunday but still not celebrating on the saturday. Nah, it will take more than a holiday to learn swedes how to celebrate/party. Annie, bring your friends over to sweden to show us how to celebrate! Quote
