"Midsummer" in Norway is more a celebration of St. Hans. We light "Saint Hans bål (fires)." (may have come slightly more prohibited over the years). I personally love St. Hans celebration because my local community always had a gathering around it when I was younger and it was so much fun. I still miss it. It's barely celebrated anymore since those of us who used to be kids are grown up now and those with kids now don't care to take the responsibility to make it happen.

Can't say anything about the movie b\c I haven't seen it.

Wait, you don't burn a puppet witch!?!

No. We just used to burn bonfires.

They aren't really used that much anymore, tho it's rather fun to make the doll together and then burning it ((':

In sweden it's probably different. I haven't seen the movie though!

But nowadays we dance around a maypole, the adults drink alcohol and we feast!!

We burn bonfires on Valborg, last of april.
