Fourth of July.

Everyone I know calls it "The Fourth of July".
Also: Fireworks YAY!!!! Glad to live in a state where they're legal.
They are? I had no idea.
What are everyone's plans? We're not doing anything special tomorrow here. It's my husband's birthday but it's also his day off so I think he mostly just needs to sleep. We'll grill steaks and all, but we need some downtime. This weekend we're hanging out with friends and family in Napa to celebrate a few different things so I'm looking forward to that more.
July The Fourth Be With You!

Happy Fourth of July to all.
Well, it is Trekker, you know.
Actually, it's not unusual for nations to refer to their independence, liberation, revolutionary, or other national days colloquially by the date. For example, Argentina with Veinticinco de Mayo celebrating the removal of the Spanish viceroy and his replacement by their first local government during the May Revolution. They even name their ships using the date (as do many other nations with their respective holidays).
It's nice of you to be (incorrectly) pedantic and rude to someone who was politely wishing us a happy holiday, btw. Well done.
And just to add my €0.2, here in Italy we routinely use the date to name the holiday, e.g. "25 Aprile" (Liberation Day), "Primo Maggio" (Workers' Day), "2 Giugno" (Republic Day), etc.
Happy Fouth of July to my American friends.
Why does your state hate America?
I never even knew it was called Independence day until the movie. I always heard of it as the fourth of July. And for that matter my American relatives are posting about the fourth of July on facebook.
And you, and everyone else, have a Happy Independence Day as well. Except those in Brittan where they can have a "Happy We Kicked Your Butts and Got Out From Under Your Rule Day."
Having sucked the spontaneous goodwill out of this thread with your first post you now insult the goodwill of the nationality of the person who started the thread. You must be like a visitation from Death at parties.
Happy Birthday America. Independence Day (4th of July) might be my favorite holiday of the year because I can celebrate it and mine (July 3rd) at the same time. Went to the baseball game and saw a fabulous fireworks show and tomorrow will probably see another one and spend time (And celebrate my and America's birthday) with family.
Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th.

Have a Happy Beer & Fire Day everyone!
Oh no, we learned at safety stand-down that beer and fireworks don't go well together. We all decided we'll drink liquor and shoot our guns instead.
J. Allen, who the heck is that and what has he done with the ponies??
Andy Griffith, sometime sheriff of Mayberry, just passed away. RIP, Andy. For happier thoughts, now, Happy 4th everyone.
I much prefer to be wished a happy July 4th by the few Australians I know who are aware of it than happy "Independence Day", which makes me wince at the Orwellian irony of the term. To imbue the day with any more meaning than just a day for hamburgers and fireworks with friends and family (as the spy drones watch from above) is a bit ludicrous.
Happy Higgs Boson Day to you too.
