The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays for some very good reasons. Not only is it a special day celebrating veterans and America's independence, but a day full of fun, happiness, and the sun! Here are some reasons why I love the Fourth of July!
1. It's A Long Weekend
The Fourth of July is one of those times where you get a three day weekend off of work. It gives you just enough time to take a small trip, head up to your family's cottage on the lake, or simply enjoy some extra time relaxing at home.
2. BBQ
The food is always good during this holiday. I'm talking hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, pasta salad, watermelon, and some fun red, white, and blue decorated desserts. Yum!
3. The Sunshine
It seems as though most major holidays are around when the weather is cold. The Fourth of July is one of those rare holidays you can actually spend (and enjoy) outside! I enjoy kicking back, getting some sun, while relaxing in my swim suit.
4. The Festivities
Perhaps I'm just a dork, but I love all the typical 4th of July decorations and other fun things. The red, white, and blue clothes, swim suits, plastic stars, food, and everything else are super fun and get me in the holiday spirit!
5. The Lake
Not everyone gets to spend this glorious holiday out on a lake, but it seems like the majority of us do.
6. Fireworks
I always love the good old fashioned fireworks. It may be cliche and "overrated" but I always love watching the fun and unique colors exploding in the sky. Makes for a great end to a great day!
7. An Excuse To Be Lazy
Let's be real. What American doesn't love the excuse to be lazy?
The Fourth of July: One of the best holidays for some of the best reasons. Hope you enjoyed it while it's here!
