It's not that I'm unpatriotic; it's just that I'm not a huge celebration person. Plus, I grew up in a family where celebrations weren't huge and large. It may have been because money was always tight as it was, but we never had big celebrations. Celebrations were always low-key events with just the family.
This 4th followed the same format. I spent the morning and afternoon working at The Grocery Store. Which, by the way, was my last holiday to work. [Gleeful jumping up and down may now commence.] This 4th was much better than last 4th. After P and I finished work (his last shift at The Grocery Store for a good while), we, plus R, headed up to J's for dinner with the parents and some relaxation.
That was it--no fireworks, no parades, no cookouts (we ate spaghetti), no big celebrations. Just low-key family time, talking, eating, watching movies, and sleeping.
