Honestly, I don’t understand this holiday very well. I’ve asked that it be explained several times now, and I still don’t quite get it. Anything burned in effigy seems more like a protest than a party to me, but that may just be my American roots showing. I suppose it is the same as Dia De Los Muertos—if can sound morbid if not explained in context.
Anyways, I hope everyone in the UK has a great and safe bonfire, and have a bite of parkin for me!
