This next Friday is Guy Fawkes Day! I haven't decided what I want to do for it yet, but I love celebrating Guy Fawkes Day. Last year, we went to a cupcake party with some friends and made little bomb-shaped cupcakes in honor of the holiday (no one else did, which is fine) and one of the guys thought the sparklers we had for wicks was licorice. So he ate a sparkler and thought it was the worst licorice he ever tasted.
I enjoy celebrating obscure holidays, especially the ones that involve huge amounts of fireworks, like Chinese New Year. At least Guy Fawkes Day is on a Friday this year. It's hard to get friends to come over to celebrate Mardi Gras because it's always on a Tuesday and they always use the school night excuse.
