Happy Fourth of July! Today is the big day, so be sure to have an extra hot dog or pretzel for me when you gather your friends and family together!
I thought I’d share some interesting facts about the Independence Day holiday from Wikipedia that intrigued me. Here goes:
Families often celebrate Independence Day by hosting or attending a picnic or barbecue and take advantage of the day off and, in some years, long weekend to gather with relatives. Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing) are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. Parades often are in the morning, while fireworks displays occur in the evening at such places as parks, fairgrounds, or town squares.
