Do you love the holidays where you can show your love for
your country? Days like the 4th of July can be a joy to look forward
to as you anticipate the many celebrations, activities, and social gatherings.
One of the easiest ways to join in today’s celebrations is to decorate your
house and help decorate any alternative areas of festivity. Patriotic buntingis one of the most traditional methods of decoration, and many other items such
as flags, fans, and banners can complement the bunting nicely.
Some of the things that make holidays so special are the
traditions that make coming together as friends and family a particularly rich
experience. While it’s always fun to try out new ideas like festive recipes and
different places to celebrate, nothing can quite match up to the delight found
in traditions. Whether it’s watching parades in the morning, setting off your
own fireworks during a picnic at the park in the evening, or attending an
all-American baseball game, traditions can be important for keeping your family
wholesome and unified.
One of the oldest traditions comes all the way from 1777. To
add to the festivities of gunshot salutes, toasts, and fireworks, ships were
decorated with patriotic bunting. The way the red, white, and blue bunting has
lasted throughout the history of the United States speaks to its importance as
a symbol of the country’s freedom and prosperity. Bunting is just as easy and
practical to use as a decoration today as it was back then, and taking the
little time it takes to set it up around national patriotic holidays can have
big rewards. Having the same bunting every year can get your family and friends
excited about the holiday.
Patriotic bunting can keep alive a tradition that has been
handed down for centuries. It can also become an important symbol for you and
your loved ones to signal the beginning of the fun celebrations and memories
that are participated in and created every year with the coming of another
holiday.
