Up Helly Aa in Lerwick, Shetland is how it's done.
A couple of pics but you have to look up the details and videos. Basically they spend a year building a full size Viking ship. On the last Tuesday of January they drag it through the streets in a torch lit procession. At the end the ship is burned.
Lots of parties, food and adult beverage along the way.

So, talking about a Danish pastime, but shows pictures from Iceland? Are there no pretty blonde girls in Denmark?
Very interesting, thanks for posting this.
I did the cozy thing, and I’ve been doing the Iranian thing every day since it stopped being dark when I’ve left work, now I have to try the connect with nature thing!
According to more recent theories, the two types of skull found in Mesolithic graves do not suggest the presence of two different populations as was formerly believed, but rather they indicate a wide degree of genetic variation within one and the same population. All in all, the peoples of the northeast were very different from those of the west. The decisive difference is in the teeth.
East Europeans have small teeth compared with the relatively large teeth of the Scandinavian, a peculiarity deriving from an age-old genetic distinction. Ancient skulls tell us that the early settlers of east Europe were mostly descendants of an ancient east European population which lived in prolonged isolation from the Scandinavians. Perhaps the "Siberian" element in Finnish genes is, in fact, east European in origin?
The lack of D3 is why we're White.
"Cold-weather wear and the sun's angle in the winter sky limit how much ultraviolet light reaches the skin. This can add up to a deficiency in production of vitamin D, which might explain why respiratory infections are common and severe in winter.
I definitely fall in the Hygge category. Always have. Minus the interlopers. Just like tomorrow - it’s going to be a cold rain all day, all night. We got plenty of candles, loaded up on some firewood and adult spirits, and I’ll be in my plaid flannel shirt, lounging pants, and Muk Luks, lording over a crock pot of chili or sweet-and-sour meatballs for Super Bowl dinner while my wife is wrapped in her new fleece throw on the sofa.
However, I wouldn’t turn those two blondes away if they wanted to come for a visit.............
Between September & March in Norway is the dark time called “murketiden” when people are likely to feel depressed.
Seeking solace, they turn to eating lutefisk.
