Decorate for July 4th
by Jaclyn Abergas June 30th, 2011 | 4th of July, Decorations
Whether you're having a 4th of July party at your place or not, it's still festive and in the holiday spirit to decorate your place. But sometimes, people get turned off by the usual decor that just looks tired. Here are a few fresh ideas on how to show your national spirit.
Front of the House
Grab wide (blue, red, and white) cloths and hang them lengthwise anywhere on the front part of your house. Be creative on how you hang them. You can twist the three colors into a braid, layer them together, or hang them separately in different areas.

Celebrate July 4th

It's almost Independence Day, and it's time to celebrate with friends and family. And what better way than to celebrate with food and games!
Here are a couple of games you can play with everyone, no matter their age.
Sidewalk Chalk
Give all participants a couple pieces of chalk and let their imaginations fly. Draw up a theme (patriotic, American symbols, etc) and have them draw it on the sidewalk. Best drawing wins. You can designate drawing spaces so no drawing overlaps another. Have categories for the game so that everyone's on equal footing, i.e., separate the adults from the kids. Or
