REMEMBER REMEMBER
The 5th of November
Bonfire Night
Bonfire Night is a uniquely British event when we “celebrate” the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot against the King and Parliament in the early 17th Century. In fact, nobody cares about the origins of the celebration anymore, but we all enjoy a good bonfire, firework display, and sausages on the 5th November each year!

It must be real sad to see that barely anyone celebrates it anymore, because it is a tradition that should go on for generations!!

Hey everyone, I’m Ben, a kid from the United States. I see that you have fire works that go with your bonfire display. That’s so cool. I have firework displays, but they usually occur on the 4th of July. The bonfire thing sounds really interesting. Come visit my blog and tell me all about it.

P.S. I love sausages.
that so awesome we kind of have something like that,. except its the 4th of july and thats the birthday of the U.S. but for the most part we watch a great display of fireworks and sometimes we have bonfires with our family and friends, and we definitely have lots of food.
Butr anyway. thanks for stopping by my blog, and thanks for the really nice comment!

WOW! Having had a bonfire must’ve been great! There are so many British events and traditions, it’s hard to keep up! Celebrating the near death of a king seems pretty cool!
I hope no-one was burnt during the bonfire!
