    it happened where i live in australia too. if i don't do midnight mass, i sure as hell won't appreciate firworks at that hour.

    i've noticed companies realeasing decadent easter food products over the last couple of years. maybe it's a trend to turn religious holidays into secular ones.

    They're not allowed in Spring Branch. Doesn't stop people though. We started hearing them on December 23rd, I think. They ramped it up on Christmas Eve though. Normally don't hear much before New year's Eve, but I guess its a special year. Probably Hispanic.

    I like fireworks at New Year and 4th of July.... but not Christmas. Doesn't seem to fit the occasion.

    This is a racist thread in disguise.

    Huh. Here in the country, you know "white trash" area and such...I haven't heard a shot tonight. Though, when one of my buddies from Houston showed up for a bbq a few years ago, he did compliment my extended family thusly:

    "Yall are a much higher class of redneck than I'm accustomed to."

    I was at a home care facility last evening and we had fun watching nurses and social workers doing the fireworks lit in the backyard
