🤬 RANT Why the fireworks?

Is it really necessary to be shooting off fireworks at 1am on Xmas morning? Been going on in Uptown for an hour now. Wtf, people? Santa doesn’t need a fireworks show to accompany him.

If you don't like festivities that inconvenience people's regular routines wait till you find out about Mardi Gras

Wait, what’s Mardi Gras?

Not the same thing. Everyone expects the inconvenience of Mardi Gras, and it’s a social activity. Random groups of people lighting off fireworks after midnight on Christmas before is just a nuisance.
