Here in the United States, July 4th is Independence Day. Here’s the history behind it. Colloquially, we may just think of it as a good long weekend off from work, bbq time, or a good trip weekend, but we should remember how we’re able to do these things in the first place.
Of course, fireworks are a big part of the July 4th celebrations usually. Just in time, Disney World restarted the fireworks at Magic Kingdom and Epcot parks the other day, after being shuttered for a tough many months!
Too bad we weren’t still down there to see them, but here are some good YouTube videos that I found that give a good sense of what it was like down there. We can pretend we’re there and celebrate with them. I can feel their excitement. In a way, it’s a very symbolic and emotional sign of things improving and finally getting back to some sense of normal. Is someone peeling onions?
