So, most of you know that I’m not exactly the most patriotic person in the world. There’s a lot of crap in America that needs to be fixed and I think a lot of other countries do some things far better than the U.S.A. (*cough…healthcare….cough*). Consequently, the 4th of July has never been the biggest holiday for me. Add that to the fact that I’m not that into drunkenness and explosives, and it’s obvious why this is really just not a holiday designed for me. But this year, I played it up a bit by having a party at work. Here’s the invitation:

My mom graciously sent over a ton of candy and goodies from the U.S. and I set them up in our office for everyone to try. I don’t want to brag, but I like to think I brought a little bit of freedom to our corner of the U.K. that day.
