Show Your Patriotism with Fourth of July Lights and Decorations

Just past the midway point of the year, as I search for reasons to put up my Christmas lights, the 4th of July is the perfect reason to break out my patriotic lights and decorations to commemorate the country's independence.

While fireworks may be the light show of choice for many 4th of July revelers, I tend to light up the holiday with red, white and blue mini lights adorning my back yard. As Old Glory waves in the breeze on my front porch, I compliment the flag with colored starlight spheres to round out a salute to our great country.

I never forget the reason for this national holiday and what it stands for. My patriotic decorations offer one more way to show my gratitude. Happy Independence Day!
