As many of you know, being that I am an Anglophile and try to celebrate all British holidays, I am very upset with myself for forgetting Guy Fawkes Day. Guy Fawkes spearheaded a plot to blow up Parliament and kill King James because he was Protestant. (Silly Catholics! ;) He was caught just as he was about to light the fuse.
So the Brits set off fireworks and have big bonfires in which they burn little replicas of Guy. Lots of potatoes thrown in the fire and eaten and lots of toffee. YUM!
I must have a sparkler somewhere around here I could light...
