Guy Fawkes Day

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November/the gunpowder treason and plot/I know of no reason the gunpowder treason/should ever be forgot."




Guy Fawkes Day commemorates the failure of Guy Fawkes' attempt to blow up Parliament. In England, it is celebrated with fireworks and a very big bonfire...(where burning an effigy of Guy Fawkes is optional)

Today, however, is a day, sadly, no longer remembered.

Hey, this also happens to be the day of our wedding anniversary. Who knew we picked such an infamous holiday!
