Why "The Fourth of July" and not "Independence Day"?

Hey, everyone.

Just wanted to write a small blog regarding something that has been frustrating me ever since I'd been celebrating Independence Day.

Apparently, people all over the United States of America have been renaming Independence Day "the Fourth of July". I wonder, why is that? I know the Declaration of Independence was drafted on the fourth of July in 1776, but why do they not call the Fourth of July Independence Day? Can someone answer me that? I know July 4th has existed since the Roman Calendar was put into effect, but people should try to call the Fourth of July Independence Day at least once in their entire lifetime. What, is it taboo to say "Happy Independence Day" instead of "Happy Fourth of July"? No one calls Christmas Day "The Twenty-Fifth of December", do they? Do they call New Year's Day "The First of January"? I don't hear that going around, so why in Heaven's name does Independence Day get renamed?

Would anyone like to comment on why this happens, or at least try to wish someone a happy Independence Day? I'm planning on doing that when the Fourth comes rolling around. Anyway, farewell for now, have a safe and healthy Independence Day, and as always, keep smiling, and keep dreaming.

Padmé Amidala: A Senator's Seduction (credits to Slave Leia Fanfiction Wiki)

Devastating News Padmé was taking a shower in her apartment on Coruscant. She had just gotten home from a long day of work at the Senate.  She had been trying to get a bill passed at the Senate.  She'd already had the support of Senators Organa and Farr, but that wouldn't be enough. As she thought about it she turned off the shower and stepped out.  She then dried off and put on her casual clothes. She walked up to her balcony overlooking the city and stared off into the skyline. Her mind began to daydream. She hadn't seen Anakin in more than two months. The last time she had seen him he was telling her about a mission he had on Kiros to locate the the Togrutan people of the colony there. Later that night after dinner, she and Anakin had had sexual intercourse together. It was the first time in a while as she rarely gets a chance to see him anymore. The war had caused him to be away often. She just wished that the whole Clone War would just come to a close. Ju

A Desperate Call of Distress from Jadis the White Witch

Hello, dear readers. I'm sure you're familiar with the films from the Narnia  franchise, right? Well, in honor of my favorite character in those books, I have created a fan film where Jadis the White Witch is sending a desperate distress call while being held captive. STORYLINE: Jadis has been resurrected by the Alliance and infected with a Dart of Light, but this Destiny was forced on her by her captors.  Fortunately, a kind-hearted elf has taken pity on the half Jinn, half Giant and hopes to send a message regarding Jadis's ultimate fate.  But can he deliver the message in time to save her from being purified? I hope you enjoy what you watch.
