Why do we 'remember' Guy Fawkes and celebrate with fireworks? Because of the gun powder found under the Houses of Parliament. He was part of a group that wanted to blow up the Protestant King at the time (James 1) and replace him with a Catholic one. But the reason I think most people celebrate (apart from the fun of the fireworks) is that they like the fact that GF was trying to 'stick it to the man'!

Sounds like a good reason for a party to me too! Thank you for sharing this, I had no idea. Have a blessed weekend, Elaine
Of course, not everyone in the neighbourhood is keen on the fireworks, but once a year is surely bearable....besides it's such great fun!
