No 4th of july here in France. The national feast takes place on july the 14th (commemorating what happened in 1789).
When I hear about Independence Day, I remember Bruce Springsteen 's song "say goodbye, it's independence day,all men must make their way, come independence day..." such a lovely melody...I have the feeling that 4th of july in the USA is much more important for american people than 14th of july is for french people. It's rather sad...
Anyway, let's think about xmas : only one month left
