When I was a kid, we made a special shopping trip for fireworks.  We saved our money all year for the big event.  My dad and his brother shot off the big ones in the "night show" and the kids could shoot off the firecrackers and sparklers and other small stuff during the day.  July 4th was almost as big as Christmas in our family.  Now we go somewhere to watch a fireworks show.

Fireworks are illegal where I live, but people still light them up anyway.

Not a fireworks person.  The kids in my neighborhood have been popping them for 2 weeks.  It's annoying sometimes.

We don't have any plans to have fireworks.  My mom's birthday is tomorrow, so we usually get together on the 4th to celebrate for her and for the 4th.  We haven't done any fireworks in probably over 10 years.

Not me.  My kitties have already been worried over the neighbor's early trials.  We're just going to hope it passes quickly this year.  :cat: :o :sweat:

We usually do a lot of fireworks a combination of memorial and celebration of my husband's life and his birthday which is on July 3rd - he passed away two years ago and we do this every year combining it with July 4th.  This year my sister-in-law was going to host but me and my sons are sick so I doubt we do much besides lay around the house moaning and groaning about how crappy we feel.

We never light them ourselves, but we do drive into town to watch their firework shows.  Much easier and safer lol

No fireworks for me.  With my situation and priorities there is no way I would spend money on fireworks.  Maybe I will if I have kids some day.

No, I never do. They are illegal where I live and I have no interest in spending money on it.
