If you don't have some form of social gala to attend or a lake house to visit, did you even celebrate the holiday? #BojiOrItDidn'tHappen. What used to be a day about honoring the freedom of our nation has become an excuse to toss one back and induce numerous fire hazards (simultaneously).
2) Whatever you have in your closet probably isn't going to cut it
For some reason, this is the one holiday where throwing a simple outfit together isn't acceptable. Patriotism is apparently limited to the clothes you wear on your back. If you are not completely decked out in the great colors of this nation, you might as well stay home.
3) We got the date wrong
According to a Washington Post article, "Actually, the Continental Congress voted on July 2, 1776 to declare independence. On the night of July 2nd, the Pennsylvania Evening Post published the statement: “This day the Continental Congress declared the United Colonies Free and Independent States.” The first celebration of independence didn't occur until July 8th, 1776. Awkward.

So go ahead. Kick back and enjoy the holiday. Then everyone can all go back to complaining about America every other 364 days of the year.
