Fireworks on Guy Fawkes?

Should New Zealanders celebrate a guy called Guy Fawkes who had something to do with blowing up the English Parliament? I think New Year should be celebrated with fire works as I know it is in the Philippines. Fireworks can symbolize New Year like a new beginning as a firework explodes. I absolutely think that Guy Fawkes should be celebrated without fireworks, and New Year with fireworks.
