I hate people who light firecrackers to ring in the new year!

Only Fireworks? Gee you're lucky. They shoot shotguns in the air here at midnight along with the fireworks.

:crazy:

I ALWAYS stay home NYE. It's the one night of the year I won't even consider going out -- drunks and lunatics rule on NYE!

3. Agree agree agree! I HATE them. Over here it souds as if WW II was back...

Haven't had a new year's eve party for YEARS because we always have to go to our horses to see they don't freak out/we don't need a vet.
And fireworks are costly. Let them spend that money for the Tsunami victims instead.
