Friends and family get-togethers. Fabulously delicious food. Fan-freaking-tastic fireworks displays. And freedom. These are four really great reasons to love the 4th of July.

July 4th is more than just a time for everyone to have a day off from work, for people to get together and drink and party and set off firework. It is a time to celebrate and honor those men and women who have served and who are serving this great country… land of the free, home of the brave.
Life Love and Sugar has some great ideas on how to throw an American party, complete with red, white and blue decorations, food, drinks, and games.
If you need more ideas to make your July 4th a top-notch party, then check out these 99 ideas.
Before the fireworks, how about watching a movie: Independence Day, starring Will Smith; Born on the Fourth of July, starring Tom Cruise; This is America, Charlie Brown, starring the Peanuts gang; or Jaws, starring Richard Dreyfuss. Why Jaws, you ask? Because it’s set during the July 4th holiday weekend, that’s why.
And just to throw a random 4th of July “fun fact” at you…
