We have two great holidays every year: Christmas, and the Summer Solstice. This holiday happens to encompass Father's Day, our wedding anniversary, and an important family birthday. As a consequence, it is a day of particular importance, celebrated by feasting and fellowship.
I hope yours has been as good. Now comes the hard part of the year: summer, the hungry time of old. Still in the South, it is a time of year I look forward to only with dread. We'll get through it, but we look toward the autumn with longing most of the time.

The most atavistic summer solstice/ St. John's Eve I've experienced was in Innsbruck, Austria. They have a fire ceremony on the old bridge, among other things, and you get the sense that the Christian veneer remains very thin.
