BONFIRE

Oh my heck!! So....Jared decides to read the last post and informed me that it's a bonfire and not a bomb fire....yeah. MIND BLOWN.  And might I add I'm a little disappointed.  I'm pretty sure my version is better.  And yeah,  Jared laughed, a lot! We both did and then I looked it up just to double check (it's really hard to accept something you believed your whole life is wrong) and this is what I found on Wikipedia.  Yup, a whole page for bonfires and there's actually a lot more to them than I thought.

In many regions of continental Europe, bonfires are made traditionally on January 16,the solemnity of John the Baptist, as well as on Saturday night before Easter. Bonfires are also a feature of Walpurgis Night in central and northern Europe, and the celebrations on the eve of St. John's Day in Spain. In Finland bonfires are tradition on Midsummer Eve and easter, also in midst of may celebrations. bla bla bla

And apparently the name comes from "bone fires".  But after I looked up bonfires I looked up "bomb fires" and this is the definition I found on urban dictionary.

"What stupid people say that don't know it's spelled BONFIRE"

And my favorite quote of this revelation is Jared "how ironic the day after you get your college diploma....." Yup, I finally received my diploma in the mail and then proved that I truly deserved it today. Ha but whatever, I'm smart and awesome and a college grad.  Perhaps we shall celebrate the feat with a "BOMB FIRE"

  1. You make me laugh Nicole! I love your blog, just sayin. And now I'm feeling inclined to have bonfires on the traditional European dates....so if you're ever in Lehi on January 16th...you're invited.
