Boys and Girls - How did u celebrate Guy Fawkes?

Here in Brit, Halloween (was usually called Duckapple Night before the Hollywood film came out) is pretty quiet and parochial. Now Guy Fawkes (5th November) is a different matter, whiz-banging going on over the place. When I was a boy the local bonfires took centre-stage. For weeks beforehand we boys and girls used to be building it up until it was about 8 feet or so high, collecting tree branches, cardboard packaging and old paper whatever we could find. Neighbouring gangs used to have their own bonfires and we used to pinch stuff off each others'. We used to pan around town with a GF dummy in a homemade wheelbarrow soliciting 'penny for the guy'. On the night, when the bonfire was going we used to socialize all around it and keep in going all night and into the early hours, chucking the odd firework and potato (for the baking of) into it. Ah, we used to have real fun in those days!

What are your recollections?

I just love how you Brits name things, that's a pretty cool name to call Halloween "Duckapple Night." In the states, usually after the first major high school football game, with pigskins, we usually build this huge bonfire. Whether or not it's still practiced I have no idea, as a matter of fact I haven't read anything about contact sports be played in high schools anymore; anyways that's another subject for another time.
My recollections of Halloween are dressing up and going to a few parties here and there, dressing in a home-made ghost costume on my first venture out.
