Ayup.
2. If so, is there a traditional way to celebrate that day in your country?
Parades, much BBQing, fireworks..

Depends..now that my kids are bigger, the fireworks are not as big a deal anymore, but we'll be BBQing for sure.
4. Do you display the flag of your country outside your home on this or any other holiday?
Yep.
5. (for the US folks) Are you going to watch fireworks tonight?
Only if they're visible from our house (in MI it was quite cool, we were 6 blocks from the park where they shot them off so we had a great view); this is our first 4th of July in this house, so we'll see.

[Beelzebub]

1. Does your country celebrate an Independence Day?
Indeed.

2. If so, is there a traditional way to celebrate that day in your country?
Food, fireworks, parades, and marathons of crappy sitcoms on TV.

3. How do you celebrate that day, yourself?
I don't do much. I appreciate every day I'm here and not someplace else.

4. Do you display the flag of your country outside your home on this or any other holiday?
No.

5. (for the US folks) Are you going to watch fireworks tonight?
My family used to go into Manhattan to watch the Macy's fireworks since we used to have access to the roof of a building my dad used to work at, but the view sucks now thanks to real estate development. Plus it was more of a novelty when I was younger. Now we just catch some of it on TV.

4. Do you display the flag of your country outside your home on this or any other holiday?
The U.S. flag does nothing for me. Not to mention my patriotism, if it ever even existed, is at an all-time low.

5. (for the US folks) Are you going to watch fireworks tonight?
[/QUOTE]
Where I live it's impossible to walk outside and not see fireworks in all directions.

1. Yes, but since it's close to Christmas it's peaceful and calm day. Like another Christmas holiday.
2. Well, most people watch the old famous war movie Tuntematon Sotilas (The Unknown Soldier, it's about the Winter/Continuation War and how Finns repelled the Russians) and eat Christmas food.
3. I watch the movie and I eat with good appetite. And thank our grandfathers for keeping Finland independent.
4. Yes, flag poles are locked&loaded in every home usually during this or any major holiday.

[squidfetish]

1. Does your country celebrate an Independence Day?
No, but I would like our country to become politically independent of George friggin' Bu$h and his warmongering. I'd celebrate that...

2. If so, is there a traditional way to celebrate that day in your country?
Celebrations in my country usually involve getting shitfaced on beer, running around with a traffic cone on your head, assaulting a policeman then having a fight in a kebab shop before going home and beating seven shades of shit out of the wife. Proud to be British? You decide...

3. How do you celebrate that day, yourself?
see above lol

4. Do you display the flag of your country outside your home on this or any other holiday?
Shit, no. Nationalism is just another way to try and convince ourselves that we're better than someone else...
