The Holiday Challenge
Happy Fourth, my little chickadees. Hope y'all have a lovely holiday. But how will you know if you've actually had a lovely holiday? I offer The Holiday Challenge. It's a point based system that will allow you to know if you've actually achieved Fourth of July bliss. Good luck!

I did almost all of the list EXCEPT for the Sparkler bit -- A. they are illegal here B. never was much of a fan on them - so glowsticks it is here in the Nation's Capital
Good for you! A glow stick is a reasonable subsitute. But I have to admit, I've got the big love for the sparklers. Especially the really old school skinny ones with the metal sticks, that make your arm tingle when the sparks get to close. That's some kind of fun, man. Luckily, no chance of them being banned in Texas. You'd have a better chance of banning beer, than trying to pry a Black Cat from a Texans cold dead hands.
