Life in Your Years Blog: Health, Finance, & More

So, it’s nearly July. Even though July 4th is right around the corner, for some reason I typically don’t think of the summer holidays as being all that important. I guess when Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are your top three, spring and summer can seem a little barren in the holiday department. But at least summer saves me from having to strain to make a Santa Jesus connection.

I typically do enjoy Easter, but right now Easter 2012 is a long way away. I guess I can look forward to Labor Day 2011 and Thanksgiving 2011, but it leaves me a little short in the light department. Maybe it’s just me, but wouldn’t it be cool if we had different lights for every holiday, however minor?

I think it would be awesome if every holiday we celebrated, no matter how small had lights. Brown and yellow ones for Thanksgiving. Red, white, and blue ones for the fourth. Green ones for St. Patrick’s Day. We could also have fun things like Easter eggs and the Christmas tree for other holidays. Imagine coloring the Thomas Jefferson bust for the fourth or decorating the replica office bulletin board for Labor Day.

This post is a bit lighthearted (and rambling) since I don’t really have much to celebrate until October. Maybe I should just make the most of it and start putting my own ideas into practice. I’ll be the only one in my neighborhood putting up red lights (for the blood of the oppressed workers) on Labor Day.
