Every year we set off fireworks on the lake in our backyard.
Last year one mortar didn't go off when it was supposed to. It fell all the way down into the lake, then blew up. It was both awesome and scary as hell.
So I went to a friend of my mom's house and there were a crap load of people there. Her place overlooked where the fireworks took place...lets just say the view was more than spectacular.
Oh, and her place had speakers on the porch. The local radio counted down for the fireworks and played a bunch of patriotic music really loud. Started off with Born in the USA and the only other song that I knew was Glad to be an American...at least I think that's what its called...<_<

They should have played American Idiot just for variety...
I celebrated by watching Planet Earth. David Attenborough is a real rave, I tell you. I didn't know that there were cacti who actually grew whilst raining. Hmm.
