Is the Fourth of July the Best Holiday of the Year?
I feel like I ask this question every year on the Monday after the Fourth. Maybe it's because this is such a miserable day every year that it makes the Fourth seem way better than it is, but i'm starting to think it might be the best holiday of the year. I've always been a big Christmas guy. Christmas is an excuse to not think about how shitty winter in the North East is. But I still think the Fourth of July takes it for sure. It' like a little taste every year of what it's like in heaven I think. Because like if someone offered you an eternity of Fourth of July weekend you'd take it no questions asked right? You'd do whatever you had to. It doesn't matter what god you believe in or what church you go to. You take that 1 million percent of the time. I'm pretty sure you could confine me to a lawn chair for the rest of my life. If that lawn chair was next to a cooler and a grill on Fourth of July weekend, I would do it. These are just facts. I could figure out logistics later. And the best part about the Fourth is that the only reason you need to have to participate is that you're American! None of this bullshit about having to say "Happy Holidays" or you're gonna offend someone, or not being able to dress up for Halloween because you're gonna offend someone. There's one rule for the Fourth of July. Hey, do you live in this country? Sweet, let's fucking hang out and drink all weekend because we can. Because this is America. Afterwards we can all go back to celebrating our own holidays in our own little groups, but for one weekend every year we get to all be drunk for the same reason. Because we live in the best country in the world, and they give you a day of for this shit.
