I remember from my childhood in Århus, Denmark, going to school in the dark and returning home in the dark at this time of year. But of course the flip side is in the summer, when the Scandinavians can enjoy daylight well into the evening. In the morning it is not so great. I still have not so fond memories from my college days, coming home from some party at, say, 2 a.m., and waking up at 5 a.m. with a huge hangover because my room with a large, east-facing window was by then too bright and too hot to sleep. My favorite Scandinavian holiday is what the Danes call Skt. Hans Eve, or midsummer, on 23rd June, when people gather around large bonfires and party all night.
