Hmmmm... let's see...
The Walpurghis Night does not mention much about the historical background - and the first description of the celebrations is the more common one...
Midsummer is OK
Lucia is pretty OK too - even though the first ones were drunken farmhands - but I've had trouble finding information about that specific part of history myself (planning on an entry)
Christmas - a bit short, but OK
Crayfish - missing details, such as wearing silly hats, lighting Chinese lanterns, and singing lots of 'snapsvisor' (schnapps songs) - oh, and if the night is long - rounding it off with pytt-i-panna (fried diced meat with onions and potatoes)
Fermented herring - never tasted it myself, but it smells - could do with a couple of recipes
Nothing mentioned about Easter or New Year... I think if you search for one tradition at the time you might find more detailed descriptions...

Looks quite normal too.
So, there's only new year missing now?

We celebrate on New Year's Eve, but it's not an old tradition - dinner, speech, fireworks - as most people around the world I guess...

My messenger disconnected me - oh well, maybe it was a sign that it's time to go to bed - midnight over at your place, right?
Good night!~waves~

Well, the party isn't going anywhere, except on and on and on... it'll be interesting to see for how long people will be partying!
