To think that Bonfire night is slowly dying out

It seems to me that Bonfire Night will gradually die away as a lot of younger people don't really like or approve of fireworks. I understand people getting annoyed and upset when pets are traumatised usually by shits letting them off long before 5th November. I haven't seen a penny for a guy on top of a bonfire for years .

I think Halloween has grown more in popularity and has gone from nothing to something huge possibly down to the internet .

Easter used to be bigger than what it is now when there used to be Easter Bonnet parades and a lot more people went to Church.

Christmas traditions Also fading away no Carol singers , decorations such as Holly and mistletoe and cards are dying out .

I predict New Years Eve Celebrations will increase in popularity as the years go by .

I was saying this to DH. Our local display is doing a laser show instead of a bonfire. By the time my kids are adults, it's likely fireworks won't really be a thing anymore.

I agree, it's a shame as bloody Halloween has taken over which I can't stand, it's so tacky.
