Just taking time today to wish you Happy Fourth of July! I am posting a couple photos of the holiday as it is celebrated in Colonial Williamsburg, VA. It's quite different from the celebrations we see generally across the United States today, especially in urban areas. We are supposed to be celebrating the birth of our nation, but it ususally ends up with THE BIG SUMMER SALE! ALL ITEMS 50-75% OFF! ACT NOW.
It really has nothing to do with the holiday. It's just another opportunity for spending and indulging. Yes, there are fire works at night, but it's just not the same. There will be picnics where people eat and drink way too much.I like to think that somewhere people will actually reflect on the true meaning of the Fourth, the sacrifice of so many nameless folks that worked tirelessly to bring about a new nation, one that with all its faults, is still the greatest country of all. I wish you joy of the day!
