I’m not a huge fan of holidays because of my family’s history with being over-the-top every single time.
Christmas holidays used to be fun until my mom started competing with her sister-in-law every year to see who could have the most outrageous decorations as well as homes.
Gone were the days when every one of us cherished simply being together as well as sharing the appreciate for 1 another. I hated seeing the commercialism of the holiday affect my mother so downsidely as well as all it did was sour me whenever the season would return each year. It took something attractive as well as communal as well as warped it into a nuisance as well as a headache. If Christmas was crazy in my household, you have no plan about Independence Day. We’re a military family with several people from every generation serving at some point in 1 of the branches of the military. Saying that my family takes patriotism too far would be an understatement. They often buy the most crazy sets of mortars, rockets, as well as roman candles to light off enjoy artillery fire on the night of the second. I would rather spend an hour or more than one in the various cannabis dispensaries in village because they all run Independence Day sales to compete with 1 another. Occasionally you can get cannabis concentrates as well as flower products for 40% off to commemorate the holiday. Then on 7/10 there are the cannabis oil sales which also includes concentrates enjoy live rosin as well as shatter. Independence Day means cannabis dispensary sales in my mind. That’s a better use of my time on that holiday versus lighting off bombs with my extended family while drowning myself in beer as well as whiskey.
