Not a very good one.
It just seems a little dismissive to summarize those holidays as "Santa" and the "Easter Bunny", as neither of those holidays exists to celebrate the corporate fictional characters that have been used to market them. That makes the 4th of July about the equally fictional "Uncle Sam".
Even divorced from the religious aspect, Easter is a Spring Festival and Christmas is a Winter Festival. Their roots are actually pagan.
I'm a pagan!

This would make a great Jeapordy topic. July 4th was the date they chose to print on the document that DECLARED INDEPENDENCE which is not the same as passing the resolution of independence. In fact the Declaration of Independence was not signed until August 1776. The resolution of independence was passed on July 2nd 1776. The revolutionary war wasn't over until 1784!
July 2, 1776: The actual day the Continental Congress voted to approve the resolution of independence. John Adams famously believed this would be the day Americans celebrated forever.
August 2, 1776: The date the physical, engrossed Declaration of Independence was officially signed by the delegates.
June 21, 1788: The day New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, legally bringing the new government and the nation into full effect.
January 14, 1784: The day the Treaty of Paris was ratified by Congress, which formally ended the Revolutionary War and made the U.S. an officially recognized sovereign nation globally.

Happy 4th of July! I’m only watching this year. The town is in good hands.
Hoping to carve out some time to look at coins in the morning.
Did you know that in England they also have a “4th of July”? They do!

...although they liken it to our Memorial Day.
It looks like the fireworks started early.

My favorite secular holiday , perhaps?
It can be anyone's favorite holiday. It's more about suggesting other holidays are fake, religious or not.

Sigh. Enjoy the day.
Happy Independence Day!
