July is the month for national day celebrations in Canada and the U.S., i.e. Canada Day on July 1st and Independence Day in the U.S. on July 4th.

Happy Canada Day!
Happy Independence Day!

Let the parties begin!

Any affiliate in almost any niche can help their readers celebrate by sharing ideas for:

• Party invitations
• Party decorations (think flags)
• Barbeque recipes
• Drink recipes and ideas – my favorites, beer in a Canadian flag wetsuit (see pic below) or a Caesar in a glass with a Canadian flag drink umbrella
• Themed dessert recipes
• Party Games

Having hosted more than a few Canada Day block parties, I think of all those things that you need to support a crowd:

• BIG fancy ice buckets to hold beer and other drinks on the patio
• Shade umbrellas
• Flags (LOTS and lots of flags)
• Balloons
• Holiday Tableware (suggest plastic items for pool parties)
• Themed yard ornaments and pool toys
• Canvas chairs with Canadian flags (or hockey team logos)
• Beach towels with flags (no need for a pool, a sprinkler for the kids will do)

BTW, if you do a Google search for “Canada Day Party” with or without quotes, you should see 2 listings with some of my Canada Day party pictures come up from years past.

Good SEO, eh?

Because it was a Canada Day, part of our requirement to attend the party was to wear something red and white… so patriotic clothing is another suggestion you can share with your visitors.

And after you’ve finished getting your site together to help your visitors celebrate the holidays, take time to read these 2 motivational articles about gaining independence through having your own business:

Cheers,

P.S. Independence and national holiday celebrations occur throughout the year in other countries. For an extensive list of national days around the globe, please visit Wikipedia – National Days.

With Canada Day on July 1st and Independence Day on the 4th, I can only hope that means most folks in both countries are recognizing and celebrating their good fortune to live in independent, democratic nations this week, because we are truly very fortunate.

Hardly a week goes by that I don’t think of how very lucky I am simply to have been born in a place like Canada, where we are at liberty to live as we choose with only the most modest constraints to ensure that everyone enjoys the same freedoms.

Personal freedom is the great thing accorded to us, yet financial freedom is still elusive for many in our respective countries.

If you’re frustrated by a lack of financial independence, I invite you to read “Declare Your Own Independence Day“, in which I discuss the true meaning of financial independence and a number of factors that can thwart your efforts to achieve it.

Happy Independence Day!
