Oct. 18th, 2007 10:10 pmBirthday dinners and Supernatural almost slipped me up!!!
Speaking of which, happy belated birthday to
unravels and
slytherinfiend, and happy early birthday to
celspi!!!
Now on to Day 18.
This is a quick one.
From my favorite British school site chock full o' facts:
"In England the day of fires became November 5th (Bonfire Night), the anniversary of the Gunpowder plot of 1605, but its closeness to Hallowe'en is more than a coincidence. Hallowe'en and Bonfire Night have a common origin they both originated from pagan times, when the evil spirits of darkness had to be driven away with noise and fire."
