I have no problem with normal "shoot in the air and look pretty fireworks," but why do you need fireworks that just make noise and sound like bombs?? These are the same people who love the sound of a leaf blower.

I forgot to mention that I went to Walmart earlier, and not only were they putting out Valentine's decorations and candy, they were also putting out Easter decorations and candy. So if you want Reese's eggs for your NYE party... go nuts.
