I'm getting a bit fed up with the fireworks by now. They start every year a little after Yule and typically last until the 6th January, but I guess the bad weather on 6th made people postpone sending off the holiday. Not that it's anything as bad now as it was on the New Year's Eve but still, won't somebody think of the pet owners etc.
This is how the New Year's Eve is like, skip to 3:00 to get to the midnight part. In the end the whole town is covered in a thick cloud of gunpowder smoke. My parents once tried to call me to wish me happy New Year but the noise was so loud I couldn't hear them over the phone...
(On an unrelated note, SNK how dare you. HOW DARE YOU.)
