Today is Bastille Day, or, as it is more commonly called in France, le quatorze juillet. It is France’s independence day, and it commemorates the storming and destruction of the Bastille prison in 1789, which marks the beginning of the French Revolution. Though the Bastille held only seven prisoners at the time, its capture symbolizes the monarchy’s loss of power. Today, France celebrates Bastille Day with military airshows, parades, musical performances, dances, and fireworks. So wear your bleu, blanc, and rouge!
Happy Mardi Gras! Do you know the meanings of the three traditional Mardi Gras colors? Purple represents justice, green represents faith, and gold represents power.
Joyeux Noël. :)

Hope you have a lovely evening with your family and friends. Or maybe just a plate of stuffing, like I plan on doing. XD Think of all you’re thankful for. :)
