Remember, remember the 5th
of November has been drummed into us since we were little and is a big
tradition in our family. We’ve always attended displays but in recent years
(we’d say the last 4) we’ve started hosting a bonfire night party at our house.
For those of you who do not know what Bonfire night is (shout out to our non UK
readers!) we’ve summarized it briefly below:
In the 1600s a man named Guy Fawkes
attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London. Although he failed it
has gone down in history and thus began Bonfire Night. We as a country create
big fires in remembrance and some people (yes we’re those wierdos) make a fake
Guy to go on the fire.
Bit satanic but whatever.
Having said this, the main
reason we all do it is firstly because its tradition and has been going on for
years.
Secondly, it’s a reason to partyyy – wrap up warm, meet-up with friends
and family, get drunk plus there’s always sparklers present and firework
displays.
REASONS WE LOVE GUY FAWKES:
FAMILY
We love any excuse to get the family and close friends round (furry family members too!)

BOOZY
Our night is notorious for getting everyone w a s t e d yes
parents included. Starts with normal spirits/beers then mum likes to finish the
night with alcoholic hot chocolates
(she swears she’s not trying to kill us)
FOOD
We always make cheesy jackets,
sausages, buns, beans nommm proper winter nosh
Plus its an excuse to eat marshmallows and toffee apples to our hearts content
NOVEMBER = BORING
November
is a bit of a dead month fun activities wise (just had Halloween and limbo till
Christmas) so bonfire night livens up the month
PYROMANIACS
We are low-key pyromaniacs
TRADITION!
We’ve been attending bonfire displays since we were babies so this will always remain a special night in our lives to be celebrated!
FIREWORKS
The displays are beautiful and we like the thrill of running away from
the stray ones haha
Random moments from the past few years:
Both of us performing Nicki Minaj super bass dance and all in front of the bonfire therefore in front of our family and friends *shakes head*
One family member (we won’t name and shame) passed out off rum in the downstairs toilet till like 12 the next day
Loose fireworks; we've had them go into neighbour's garden, into the crowd and onto the dual carriageway by our house – still have no idea how we haven’t been shut down!
ROLL ON 2018!!!
If you behave we may invite some of you lot along
