What is Guy Fawkes Night, also known Bonfire Night?

The plot is celebrated all centers around not warm by burning effigies of Guy Fawkes on top of the bonfire, fireworks light and hearty meals.
Night lights of the fire often now brought community, but when I was a kid, all streets held their own fire and fireworks. Our street proportion Cooking food served around the fire. My memories are still very clear day by the fire, my face and my back is burning in the cold (! Moist Times) freezing night of November.
We spent months collecting wood and old furniture for firewood and always too soon it was over, the next morning we would always see if the fire was out - hope it was not - it has always been.
Bonfire Night is fun and the kids loved it.
