The holiday is known as Independence day. It just happens to be on July 4. Why say "Happy Fourth of July"?
Do people say Merry 25th of December? Happy 1st day of January? I wish you and your lover a fun and romantic February 14th??? How about, instead of happy birthday, we simply say "happy (whatever date your birthday is)".
The Fourth has no meaning unless it is remembered as Independence Day. Just as you should be referred to by your date of birth.
Small, minor detail? Too stupid a point to debate?
Maybe I will refer to you as your social security number from now on. I'm sure you think that's just as proper. After all, nothing is sacred or meaningful, least of all proper names.
Do you think it should be called by it's proper name or not? Is the date the only thing that matters? Does it matter at all what the holiday represents, or is it just another national holiday?

Independence day, people happen to say "Happy 4th of July".
Doesn't bother people much.
But it happens only in the United States. Wonder why?

maybe it just needs to be called, drink lotsa beer day and try not to set your house on fire day. We Americans just seem to find any excuse to party, and not really know the true meaning of holidays, well atleast in Cali it seems to be this way.
