It can be dangerous for sure, as well as annoying and loud. They do it much longer on NYE, well past midnight. Some people work New Year's so need to SLEEP. Everyone doesn't party on 12/31st.

I agree that the Fourth of July is one obnoxious holiday due to the fireworks people set off even before and after that holiday. People have gotten extremely inconsiderate about fireworks since they don't care and I have a fear of houses catching fire since I see that on the news every year and I have witnessed a firework malfunction up close once too.

Yeah, there seems to be injuries every year.

Professional shows are different. Noisy but safer. I'm talking about people setting them off around here or shooting guns up into the air. They do the latter more on NYE than the 4th.

I agree those two holidays involving fireworks are super annoying and people use it as an excuse to be inconsiderate. I think the Fourth of July may be worse since the fireworks tend to go on for at least a couple days longer than New Years. I dislike New Years not just because of the fireworks but also the ridiculous hype over a new year acting like that will change things when in reality nothing will change other than the number in the year itself.

I've heard fireworks as early as July 2nd, during the DAY. They can go past July 4th too, especially if it falls on a Friday or Saturday.

For many years I thought we were supposedly celebrating an upcoming New Year. But it's about surviving the OLD year. Still, I don't get the forced optimism because it's a new year. You don't know what that means or what it will bring. For me, it's just flipping the calendar. I've had horrible DECADE and since 2000 even started, it's been going down the tubes. That's over 20 years. Yet every year it's HAPPY New Year.

NYE = Excuse to drink and be a fool. All that screaming and yelling cause it's a new year. We don't do that for a new MONTH or even DAY.
