Well, now you know how it all came about and what it means to me, lets talk about how it is celebrated. My family celebrates it by going over to my grandmothers house and eating good food and stuff like that then later when it gets dark we pop fireworks. It's so much fun. My town celebrates it too! They have a bunch of people that come and perform in concert and then around 10 o'clock at night they get these gigantic fireworks like you would see at Disney World and pop them. We also have a parade and everything it's really cool.
