It was very interesting to hear "winter solstice" in "vintersolstånd". Thank you for sharing.

Be careful or I'll start explaining how the words are related through shared history or loans
Yes, it is pretty cool when you see those things so clearly, isn't it!

I've never been north of the pole circle, so I've never seen the midnight sun. But in the summer it never gets completely dark, even though the sun isn't up... you get a couple of hours of a kind of dusk some time after midnight but it's light enough to read by (which is of course the only important thing
)
Sorry, I don't want to be a walking infodump. Thank you for the hugs.
