23
My traditions for this very special day include:
- Seeing every government building flying giant flags, and thinking, "Oh, today's a flag day? I completely forgot! What is it this time? ...Oh it's probably just some royal's birthday, isn't it?"
- Looking up the list of official flag days in Norway, seeing that it's the queen's birthday, and saying, "Yup, of course."
-ing at the small number of private individuals who have gone out of their way to commemorate a stranger's birthday just because she married a state-mandated celebrity with an inherited position of political power.- Forget that July 4 is the queen's birthday by tomorrow morning, thus allowing me to repeat these traditions year after year.
Too bad we didn't have a president born on the 4th, it'd be the most post-modern thing ever.
Calvin Coolidge (№30) was born on July 4, but I'm guessing you mean an incumbent president?
Edit: Also FWIW three presidents kicked the bucket on July 4, John Adams (№2) and Thomas Jefferson (№3) famously both in 1826, James Monroe (№5) in 1831.
Shit damn I didn't know that and yeah the incumbent. Trump was born on flag day, which hell yea, is still diet nationalism compared to being a 4th baby.
