My two dogs are freaking out hard, shaking and crying because people want FIFTEEEN FUCKING MINUTES of nonstop fireworks to celebrate Christmas. Why do you even need them, can't you just fucking celebrate without loud bangs and lights. Are they really necessary, considering not even everyone celebrates Christmas? Fuck.

Christmas Fireworks are news to me, but last year New Years Fireworks seemed to go on for like 6 days straight.

I just heard a few pops in my neighborhood, too. Hopefully it quiets down so that my dog doesn't get upset either.

Personal fireworks are ridiculous, people scaring animals and people with PTSD so they can look at loud thing go boom.

About an hour ago it sounded like someone lit off an M-80 in my neighborhood. Some people are crazy sauce.
(Nowhere near the south, my neighbors are just insane.)

They are doing this in my neighborhood right now and it's really annoying. First year I've encountered this... Texas by the way.

I was just wondering this myself. Somebody a block or so over is setting some off. New Year's I can see, but Christmas? Come on, man.

Christmas fireworks are not and have never been a thing where I live. Sounds like people just want another excuse to light off fireworks where you are.

I envy the neighborhoods where big holidays don't get fireworks for multiple days before and after the holiday in addition to the holiday itself

I've gotta find a quick way to be out of the state for New Years. The day of being a Wednesday? Goddamn people are going to be popping those off for the full 7 days just because it's directly in the middle of the week

Lots of fireworks in the suburbs outside of Auckland. Quite a few gunshots, too. Not a fan of either, but if that's the custom then it is what it is.

It's fun. You hang out with people, light off some fire works, be merry, and have a good time. You may not know this, but people bring their kids and dogs to light them off too. It's the holidays, let people relax, socialize, and have a good time.

I live in a city that will shoot off fireworks for absolutely anything. Literally any excuse they can find, some neighborhood or downtown itself will blast off fireworks & even we don't have fireworks for Christmas. I've never heard of such a thing.

Some people love fireworks I dunno why. I mean I don't hate then, but some people where I live spend a little fortune every new year and on Christmas day.

I can understand a person with PTSD or small children being understandably upset by fireworks, but why should other people be put out because someone decided to get a pet?

Never heard of Christmas fireworks before. They're definitely not a thing where I am.

Fireworks are great. They're bright, colourful and they explode for fun. I fucking love fireworks.

A good way to prevent fireworks from going off on weird days like Christmas is to live next to a fire station. We get 4th of July and maybe some New Years fireworks, but I don't hear them any other time here.

I'm in Houston (the Katy area) and it sounds like a war zone. I'm wrapping gifts right now so it's not really bothering me.

Hey there neighbor, Katy/Cypress here.

It's pretty quiet here (I'm not too far from Towne Lake). I walked my dog a little bit ago and it sounded like there was some way out in the distance, but nothing too close.

Firstly... Christmas fireworks? Now I've heard it all.

Ban all fireworks please, they literally kill dogs and all I love is dogs.

Fuck no fireworks are awesome, if worse gets to worse try a NIMBY approach with your hood. I'm sure they'll love it.
