Fireworks on Christmas day, Why?

[Beebo]

anyone else being plagued by fireworks on Christmas day?
We have had 3 extended displays in our road, i do hope this isn't a trend, it ruins a nice relaxing night.
I dont mind fireworks, but not on Christmas day.

 

[vickster]

Because people like them?

Ar$eholes will behave like ar$eholes every day of the year.

New Years Eve-Day, maybe.

Other than that, because they can.

Bah humbug. What an unpleasant response. Let people celebrate.

All well and good but why do they have to go half a mile up and detonate like a megaton warhead these days. It never used to worry me or the Dog and the 6 Cats I was servant to had years ago but nowadays a couple of our Cats are really 'timidy' and get very stressed out by these 'nuclear detonations' that they sell these days. What's wrong with a 'Roman Candle' or a 'Catherine Wheel'

BTW - Yesterday I 'protected' the Moggies by turning up the Hifi extremely loud so they couldn't be disturbed by fireworks (I may have been a bit 'pished' too)

I understand that, but it is the major UK celebration of the year. It’s not an every day annoyance.
Sadly we live in a world where church bells are no longer allowed to ring.

Saw some at the back of ours last night was nice to watch if I'm honest ..

Honestly, some of you lot would probably rather call it Winter Festival. Fireworks to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour is about as traditional as it gets. One of the parts of the nativity which is often overlooked is Josephs' fireworks, Joseph spent a good hour staggering back and forth between the stable and a bucket of sand, finally getting bored and doing the last ten or so at the same time, before passing out under a date palm. What do you think it was the wise men followed?

100% agree. Of course if it's really late at night it's a no no. But other than that live and let live and don't be a miserable curmudgeon

Sad and miserable.
