    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.

    Here's a sobering thought. For some people, today will be the last day they have ten fingers. :#
    Be safe. :)

    As opposed to the Birth of Christ or the Resurrection of Christ.

    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! ;)

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

    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.
