Fourth

So yesterday it took me a second to remember the point of the fourth of July. It just escaped me and then I started thinking about Christmas and how no one really thinks about Jesus. Once my dad told me that Jesus wasn't born on Christmas and I told someone at school and it was NOT okay. I hope there are at least a few sterile academic discussions about the effects of the concept of Immaculate Conception on contemporary society. I think it's really great that on Christmas ever one gets together and agrees that today everything should be great. I don't really know if I like fireworks. I'm too afraid of the messing around in the backyard variety and after the crowds and seating issues I'm kind of too annoyed and uncomfortable for stuff in the sky. I do like strobe lights though.
