Dear England,

Giant 20-minute fireworks displays, while pretty and very much appreciated, are not how you celebrate Halloween. Halloween is celebrated by dressing up in costumes, eating candy until you feel sick, and, if you're me, reading Poe. (Actually, when I was still living at home I did not get to read Poe, because my dad used to make us listen to the original radio broadcast of War of the Worlds, the one that freaked out everyone in New Jersey, but that is neither here nor there.) I know you guys like your fireworks, but it's Guy Fawkes in 5 days anyway. And it's not just one of you, there are at least 5 of you going right now. Try to restrain yourselves.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
