Perhaps it refers to a moment or a scene that has the vividness and excitement of the Fourth of July fireworks and parades, and at the same time, the cozy, family - oriented, and story - telling aspect of Christmas. For example, a big family gathering where there are lots of fun activities like on the Fourth of July, but also the sharing of heart - felt stories like during Christmas.
The Fourth of July is a celebration of America's independence. It began with the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which declared that the colonies were no longer under British control. People come together on this day to honor that freedom with patriotic displays and community activities.
One way is when you have a family reunion in the summer that has all the excitement of the Fourth of July with fireworks and outdoor games, but also has the family - bonding aspect similar to Christmas, like sharing old stories. So it's like that statement.
Yes, it's based on a true story. The film is inspired by the real-life experiences of Ron Kovic.

It might imply that in the Christmas story, there is a person or an animal (symbolically 'like a pig') that has a particular relationship with food during the Christmas season. For example, the story could be about a family where one member eats so much during Christmas that others start to call them 'eat like a pig'. It could also be a humorous take on the gluttony that sometimes occurs during the festive feasting of Christmas.
Well, perhaps it refers to a behavior in a Christmas story where a character eats without restraint, just as pigs are known for eating voraciously. Maybe in the story, there's a big Christmas feast and someone is acting like a pig at the table, eating lots of food quickly and messily.
It could mean a sign that is delicate or easily broken, similar to the elements in the Christmas story which might be seen as precious and in need of gentle handling, like the baby Jesus in the manger.
Well, 'born on the fourth of july' is based on Ron Kovic's story. Ron was born on the fourth of July. He joined the military with great enthusiasm. However, in Vietnam, he was in a situation where he witnessed and endured a great deal of horror. After being paralyzed, he had to re - evaluate his beliefs. He started to question the war. His journey from a patriotic young man to an anti - war advocate is the heart of this real story. He used his experiences to fight for the rights of veterans and to expose the truth about the Vietnam War.
Patriotism is a very common theme. Stories often show people celebrating the nation's independence with pride, like flying the flag high. Another common theme is community. People come together for parades, barbecues, etc. For example, neighbors might gather for a big cookout on the Fourth of July.
I'm not really sure. Maybe it's a reference to a particular Christmas story that wasn't very good or didn't meet expectations.
