Sitz-Party

Tonight we attended one of the popular Finnish sitz-parties. You are asking what a sits party is? Yes, we also did when coming here! In Germany that would probably never happen, but in Finland people come together to get drunk (okay, this part is also true for Germany) and sing songs together. How this goes about … People come together in the evening. Name signs for everybody on the table make sure that you meet new people. Everyone gets a mostly 3 course meal which is spread through the whole evening (and not really the point) and a lot of alcohol to drink. Rules are communicated in the beginning and then songs are sung. Often the party has a special theme.
The party we attended this night was a “German” sitz party. Most songs still where in Finnish or Swedish, but a few also where in German. It was really funny, but too much alcohol!
