Happy Guy Fawkes Night! November 5th is Guy Fawkes Night, an annual celebration in the UK commemorating the day that Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives hidden beneath the House of Lords. People lit bonfires to celebrate King James I survival of the plot, eventually leading to a public day of thanksgiving, which of course, is celebrated by lighting FIRE, usually in the form of bonfires and fireworks. Alas, I am American, but I support my friends across the pond in their evening of burnination. Here are some fun projects for you:
