Celebrate the Summer

Summer: a time of festivities and jolly-good times. Between Independence Day (or Fourth of July) and May Day (or Labor Day), summer is a season of patriotism and homage to all those who have made the U.S.A. what it is today. On Independence Day, fireworks are the main attraction and red, white, and blue is the hottest color scheme. Whether you want to catch a baseball game or maybe just some sun, the Fourth of July presents ample opportunity.

While Labor Day marks the official end to summer, it is still a time of great celebration. It is a day for workers to take a break from their duties and have some time for themselves, and for all the football fans out there, it also marks the beginning of the college and NFL football seasons. The idea for a "workers holiday" began in Australia in 1856 and has been carried on worldwide ever since. Some of the wildest celebrations involve a huge concert in Rome and countless political protest in France.
