Some schools have bonfires to celebrate homecoming or stuff like that. In high school we had a bonfire every year on the Thursday before the big homecoming game.

So like V for Vendetta! Nope, don't do that here...probably why I was completely confused that whole movie! LOL! Have a great time tonight! But yes, does remind me of our 4th of July in the states.
