Oh, I love summer. Not only because of the sun that pampers us with vitamin D, or because of the refreshing hit that awaits you when you dive into the cold Aare. Not only because of the long warm nights with friends outside and the obligatory licking of ice cream during the day. But also because of this unique sense of community, which can only be truly experienced in our latitudes in summer.
After all, only in the summer there are village fairs and festivals! Places where people come together, where old and young meet. You see your closest friends, as well as their dads and grandmas. Some help in the sausage stand of the football club, others arrange an after-party. They sing and dance together.
This only happens in church. And not so many go to them anymore. There are many reasons for this. However, the cohesion of a religious community is unmistakably healthy for all involved.
In the summer there is an opportunity to make up for what is missing in the cold months: to have a good time in big, wildly mixed companies and to share love. This religiosity of the summer holidays is what drives many people around me for the rest of the year.
As with any denomination, the Summerfest faction has some distinctive features. It seems imperative that the music always be played much louder than the normal ear can bear. In addition, revealing outfits are a good tone, even if it rains. Gym bags and straw hats (unfortunately) also hold up well. And, of course, there should never be too many points.
Unfortunately, summer partygoers also often leave a lot of trash behind, and jumping ahead, whether in lines or at concerts, is one of the most common sins. Recently, crime has crept in and constantly “shoot everything on a mobile phone.” Seniors can only shake their heads at this.
There are also many stressful moments, especially in such cases. But the good is definitely more than the bad. Let’s be honest, there’s nothing better than wandering around the house with your loved ones after a busy summer night and reflecting on the events of the day. And save them for when winter comes again.
