[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Arlington neighborhood had a huge party every year with a massive fireworks show, neighbors cooking out, potluck, kids playing everywhere. Such a treat and great for the community of the neighborhood. Unfortunately, one or two Debbie Downers had to ruin it this year… fireworks are too scary, apparently. [/quote]

This is how we celebrated as kid. Big adult parties, kids running around, fireworks.

We have no parties and attend no parties. Most of my friends go out of town, go to the beach…we go to go fireworks events [/quote]

Neighbors banded together to celebrate and we enjoyed our family shows potlucks [/quote]

You’re reminding me of the kindest dad I knew. He didn’t play games socially and was friends with every dad in the subdivision and at the elementary school and swim club. No one disliked him and he was honest, self-deprecating and fun. He coached soccer when girl’s soccer wasn’t seen as very important in our town, led scouts, and he was always in the parent-child swim relays. His potlucks were the one time of the year when there weren’t any cliques and even the snobbiest or most ostracized people were all invited- and showed up! He died relatively young and I wish he was still alive so I could thank him.

We need more people like him who aren’t afraid to bring people together.[/quote]
