Advent Calendar-Dec. 3
We continue our Christmas Advent with Day 3 with another of the gifts that we receive from living in America. Today we recognize that the Declaration of Independence is one of the greatest gifts.

They unaminously agreed that it was time to declare their independence from Britain. On July 4, 1776 they formally issued the Declaration of Independence, and the birth of a new nation occured.
