I saw today a post of FB questioning why we celebrate the "Fourth of July" buy not the "Twenty-fifth of December" among other examples.

Valid question.  I'd opine that these days, it's become so much of the lexicon that people use the two interchangeably.  

Have a great day, and remember to finish the holiday with ALL your fingers.

We have much to be thankful for in this great country. Many sacrifices have been made to arrive where we are today.
