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 think Easter is so entwined with religion that it has been become somewhat niche.

I would definitely not describe Easter as niche. It’s like Halloween in that people now go all out, with Easter egg hunts, displays, costumes and home decorations in the shops. I’ve even seen Easter wreaths for doors!

I’d say a growing number of people aren’t interested or maybe not even aware of the religious aspect and it’s become more about eggs, chocolate and social media photos these days.

It seems to have become swallowed up into halloween. I hate how displays these days don't have proper bonfires . Yes fireworks are pretty but part of the fun was having a bonfire as well. I don't see the point in paying for a ticket to a display and freezing my arse off, no bonfire to warm us!
