Backdated to the 4 July fireworks

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo will be staring out of his castle window at the firework display in the city. It was a magnificent sight and reminded him of being back in Bag End with Gandalf's fireworks. They were something else, being created by magic mostly. He sighed and placed his chin on his hands, as his eyes misted over for a few moments.

He tears his eyes away from the sight, as he opens his journal and thinks of what to write. Why was there a celebration within the city? Was it someone's birthday? Or something else entirely? He frowned, before eventually thinking of something.]

I am curious to know why there are fireworks within the city. Is it someone's birthday or something else entirely? I am enjoying watching them, as the colours are spectacular!

Dude, its totally the fourth of July!

[unexpected_adventures]

Which means what exactly? [Because hobbits have no idea what that means.]

Fireworks and cookouts and watermelon, of course! Its only like the best day of the summer.

Watermelon? Really? So, is this festival about food and drink mainly then?

[schrodingersghost]

Actually, its about my country's independence or something. But food's kind of a part of it.
