Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot
I know you celebrate Holloween in the States, but what about Bonfire Night on the 5th of November? The Gunpowder Plot occured in 1605, so way before the revolution. What about in Canada and Australia?
I used to work with some Americans who were very confused when they were offered bonfire toffee and parkin on the 5th and asked which bonfire party they were going to.
But talking of Halloween, the 4th of November is Mischief Night in Yorkshire - a night of humour and hooliganism - where doorbells are rung repeatedly, house numbers are unscrewed and interchanged with other houses, bins emptied in gardens etc etc. Very funny for the kids, but not for all the adults.....
Are there any strange regional traditional events like this in your area?
