I tend to prefer bonfires, since I generally go to them with my friends and have a lot of fun as opposed to fireworks, which I only tend to see the Fourth of July and traditionally is only when my parents decide to go to some big show, usually at my mother's workplace.
It involves being cold and a lot of waiting for a 30-minute production which, while impressive, is NOT worth the rest of the crap.
Fireworks just don't have a whole lof of hold on me.
Thirded. It's already November 5th here, although we don't celebrate Guy Fawkes' Day here. Anyway, I prefer fireworks to bonfire. The fireworks often look pretty and flashy, although I'm kind of glad they're very rare here so that you can't grow overly tired of them. I usually go and see them in the New Year's Eve, at midnight, when the year changes.Quote:

I just dont see why people cant wait till tonight to fire them, and there'll be people firing them all week.
I don't mind watching fireworks...
They both rock, so I chose both. :cool:
Where I'm from bonfires were a weekend ritual accompanied by underage drinking of tall-cans and 40s.
Slowly, one by one each member of this sacred circle became legal and it was soon that the circle had alltogether vanished; retreating into basements; watching hockey games and playing video games around the warmth of a heating tower while and drinking respectable 24s of beer (for this was also a time of great change when parttime jobs became necessary).
Now in my old age where even this custom has been replaced with a rare outing to a finely established etablishment I now look back on bonfires with a nostalgic fondness.
Themz were the dayz.
Bonfires allow the roasting of marshmallows on sticks. Fireworks involve drunken firing of bottle rockets at each other.
I prefer roasted marshmallows to roasted flesh.
I can't decide, they both rock. :rolleyes2
I like bonfires, I hate fireworks.
Same here.Quote:

I save the roasted flesh for my Master
Fireworks are pretty!!! :jess: I love the ones in Disney World!!! :love:
Fireworks!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Bang Bang Bang.
Loud noises make me scurry and hide. I can take a bonfire if I'm at least 20 feet away from it.
And there ya go.Quote:
