My neighborhood is particularly bad as far as fireworks. Thy scare the dog, and they go on past midnight. It really tries my patience.
Fireworks, as I understand it, were originally meant to scare off evil spirits, but were eventually used to celebrate war victories by simulating the sounds of combat.
