Whether you live in Canada or the USA, July is a month for Celebrating!
Celebration Products Reviewed!
July 1st is Canada Day followed very closely by July 4th Independence Day in the USA!
Those are two big holidays that just happen to fall in a great place this year. Thursday July 1st and Sunday July 4th make it quite possible if you live close to the border, to enjoy each other and our holidays together.
After all the close downs, it will be nice to be able to travel even if its just down the road a ways. I'm looking forward to that as a possibility!
Now whether or not that happens, don't let the holiday pass without getting some enjoyment from it all.
I love putting out my flag a week to two weeks before our holiday and then I leave it in place for the whole month. Many Americans have their flags waving all year round, so it's a great time to make sure your flag is in tip top condition! There is nothing sadder to me than seeing a tattered and tired flag. There is no excuse! Take a good look at it now and if it needs replacing then do the right thing and replace it! Everyone will appreciate seeing a new flag flying.
What I love even more than seeing a flag flying in the breeze during these holidays, is people getting their community spirit up by the wearing of "flag" inspired clothing! Yes I love seeing the tee shirts and shorts, bathing suits and fitness gear all decked out in colors that represent your favorite place on earth! After all this is the place you call home.
Cents of Style does a great job with T-shirts that reflect that patriotic notion. And they do it in a great size range too!
T-shirts are a summer standard and everyone knows you can never have too many! Are you getting the whole family together? Can you just imagine the photo opportunities with everyone decked out in their finest deeply patriotic T's?
My bet is that everyone will be taking a picture of the whole bunch of you enjoying yourselves to the fullest. Isn't that what these holidays are all about?
Now I'm sure that there will be food involved in all this celebration with family and friends, but did you know it's real easy to make something spectacular for everyone without breaking the proverbial bank?
Food and Family go together like a hand in a glove. So be prepared ahead of time by getting some ice cream sandwiches (you know the ones with the chocolate cookies on the outside and vanilla ice cream in between). Dip the outside edges of the ice cream with red and blue sprinkles to give them that holiday feeling. Or dip pretzels sticks or ties into white chocolate and sprinkle them with red and blue to give them that Holiday feel! Easy to do and can be done days ahead of time too.

Can you tell that I'm looking forward to this special time? I enjoy the holidays, especially after the last couple of years when many festivities needed to be curtailed. It's time to stretch out our wings and fly with the flags that are waving their hellos to the world. Won't you come and join in the fun?
To all my friends Canadian and American who are celebrating these wonderful holidays, May I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart and my hopes that our tomorrows will always be brighter!
