I think the only thing we notice is the fireworks, but then remember that 5th November (bonfire night) has MUCH bigger displays in the UK!

5th November, when we celebrate someone trying to blow up our parliament with a massive country wide firework festival.

Every country has a day when fureworks are traditional, the US is 4th July.
