I'm not on of those that spends their time complaining about them and I know loads of people love them, especially kids.Not sure it's a celebration. Most don't set off fireworks to celebrate. More of a tradition.
However I've never seen the point of fireworks. It's such a lot of money that literally goes up in smoke.
I kept getting asked to join the Fireworks committee in the village after I ran the beer fest for years. I told them if it was up to me I'd set them all off at once. A bit like many men's sex life. They stopped asking after that.
