Why is this day (4th July - USA's Independence Day) celebrated as Happy 4th of July and not as Happy Independence day like it should be. For example, the other festivals are celebrated as Happy Halloween or Merry Christmas and not by their respective dates. I mean it's like celebrating Christmas as happy 25th of December. No idea, some say "Happy independence day" while some say "Happy 4th of July". I guess most americans just prefer 4th of July for some reason I found the answer.
