July 4th, the best and most underrated holiday of the year [View all]

In looking at holidays, July 4th is perhaps the best of them all:

1. No gift giving, so no need to spend money.
2. No big meal preparation. Yes, there are BBQs, but it's not expected nor required.
3. The weather is nice
4. In most areas, there's a FREE fireworks show.
5. No expectations to spend time with family members that you don't like.
6. No feeling isolated because you are alone.
7. No big game(s) on TV to distract you.

Happy 4th everyone!
