The winternight bonfire was usually held earlier than this, but the past few weeks had him focused on nothing but exams. He didn't think, (he hoped) they wouldn't mind: there were no such things as calendars back home, so he figured as long as it was after the first chill, it was close enough.
Knowing some of those in his classes would be into this as well, he enlisted their help to setting up a clearing in the park, setting the fire pit, benches and table for food and drink. As always, the drink of the evening was meed, but in consideration of his wife and others, there was also non-alcoholic cider. Along the table was roasted pork cooked with apples, sweet and white potatoes that were wrapped in foil and cooked over the fire. From the bakery he ordered several loaves of bread and apple fritters: all simple foods that had to do with the harvest, but nothing too complicated either. A portion of the best of all was immediately thrown into the fire: an offering to the gods and wood-elves in lieu of a blood offering.
Along with food, one of the nps students lent their ipod and dock, setting the playlist to a mix of instrumental music fitting for a bonfire night. Music, food and company, all needed for a good bonfire night. He helped himself to some meed, glad to see others enjoying themselves, glad for the break after exams.
Every so often he saw someone standing alongside the edge of the festivities and beckoned them to join in. For all he told his friends and family of the party, there was enough food and drink for everyone who decided to join in if they so chose to.
