If you are lucky enough to be an American, you get to celebrate one of the best holidays, The Fourth of July. The Fourth of July is celebrated by Americans because it just so happens to be the day we gained our independence many years ago in 1776. There are many ways to celebrate the Fourth of July, but after reading this you will know how to properly celebrate the Fourth.
First, you need to find a body of water, preferable a lake if you’re going to do this the right way. Then you need good weather, but every Fourth of July is good weather, because even the sun comes out to celebrate the fourth, so no need to worry about that!
Next you will need to find a boat, a pontoon or water floats (you can even get the typical swan or donut ones that every girl seems to be getting these days). If you see a tree around tie a rope on it so you and your friends can swing your way into Independence Day!
The next thing on the list is food. Making Fourth of July themed food is the most exciting part, and is a definite must. If you don’t make a pie that looks like the U.S. flag, is it even the fourth of July? And if you don’t grill out are you even American? The answer is clearly no. Pull your grill out and throw some meat on it. This is ‘Merica, and we are celebrating the right way! Last but not least on this list is beer, and a lot of it. Save the water and just drink beer, you’ll thank me later.
Corn is not only something you should eat on the Fourth, but something you should also play, Corn Hole! No matter how horrible you are, throw some bags of rice in the air at a hole many feet in front of you. Trust me, even if you don’t make one, you will still feel the most American you have ever felt. You’re going to need to also run around with the American Flag, but make sure you don’t drop it, you’ll go to hell.
After a day full of fun with friends and family on the lake, with good food and great weather, the best part is yet to come. The fireworks are the most important part of the celebration, whether they are sparklers or the biggest fireworks, it is something that has to happen. Personally, I suggest that you go big, it is the fourth and we are celebrating our independence. So shoot some big ass fireworks even if you don’t know how to. If you accidently set your neighbors house on fire, you can blame it on me, because at the end of the day you’ll know you at least celebrated the right way.
The most important concept to take away from how to properly celebrate the fourth is to go big, be crazy, and wear your flag with pride. You are American, and everyone wants to be American because America is the best.
‘Merica!
