What am I supposed to do/say as an expatriate Brit when asked what I'm doing for the 4th?
My family doesn't celebrate it (bc we never did growing up in the UK), nor do I begrudge anyone their freedom. Anyways, happy independence day y'all. If you need me I'll be sipping tea in the middle of a wide open field wearing my ceremonial red coat.
So do what you’d normally do on a day off. Sleep in, read a book, go for a hike, play some games, paint a picture, do some home improvement, cook something special, grab a drink, volunteer at a shelter…
Whatever you want. I don’t really care about fireworks, personally. But nothing preventing Brits from joining in the celebration. We love you guys!
