Okay, I do actually know a little bit about it. I've read the Wikipedia page. But that's about it. This is the best my American mind can come up with. An Englishman actually tried explaining it to me -- something about a fox (later understood to be Fawkes), an effigy, and setting things on fire.
Leave me a comment about how you celebrate. I love to hear each individual's story! I'm sure it will help me understand much better than a bland article online.
