Guy Fawkes

Some Americans know the phrase, "remember, remember the 5th of November", but most dont know more than that.  Wait, most Brits (and certainly South Africans) never knew or forget the origins.  It's more fun just to have fireworks and a great big bonfire, and perhaps roast some chestnuts. Just so everyone is clear

Guy Fawkes Day 2010 gives Brits occasion to burn in effigy the revolutionary who attempted to violently restore Catholicism in 1605.

 Here in Bolton, Massachussets:

• no fireworks (they are illegal)
• no bonfires (need a town permit) which they only grant when the ground is frozen

 Oh well, I can remember the fun of being a kid!
