Independence Day
This last weekend I have come to the conclusion that I much prefer people referring to the 4th of July by its real name, Independence Day. There is a reason we are celebrating and lighting off fireworks. It is because the forefathers of our nation declared their independence from Great Britain in a move to establish a land of freedom. To me, it is along the same lines as calling Christmas X-mas. It takes the reason out of the title. So all in favor of making a more concentrated effort to call the 4th of July Independence Day signify with an Aye.

ReplyDeleteIt also helps for clarity, like this year when the 4th was on a Sunday, so we had our ward celebration on Saturday, the 3rd. It was just silly to say we were celebrating the 4th of July, but made sense to say we were celebrating Independence day on the 3rd.
