So... have a satisfactory non-denominational capitalist/Gov't sponsored wintertime gift giving season!

Enjoy your holidays everyone! Sleep well & eat well.
Okay, I am stretching this a bit, but have any of y'all made old man (Guy Fawkes, right?) for New year?

Guy Fawkes is for Bonfire Night, which is the fifth of November. We celebrate a group of rubbish plotters' failed attempt to spectacularly blow up Parliament by launching fireworks and burning the unfortunate Guy Fawkes in effigy.

Be fair, they were good enough to get all the gunpowder together and set it up under Parliament :P

Mostly.
I still thought it was really cool when I learned we get 'guy' from Guy Fawkes.
Or rather, his effigy.

I thought Guy Fawkes & the Old Man burnt on Dec 31st were the same, only they were called differently in different places.
I have made quite a few Old Men & even one Old Woman & burnt them (when I was small) for New Year. Twas fun. I have put one of the pic in fb. You can check it out if you want.
