For the last three years, people in my town have been shooting fireworks on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Of course not as much as on New Year's, but some people are doing it. Seems odd. Is this a new thing? Are people doing it where you live?

Why do you have fireworks most every weekend?I never heard of it.
But
We have fireworks all summer long here...most every weekend.
So we take a break most of the winter.
They're illegal within the city here, too, but it's never really been enforced.No. We see fireworks on the Fourth of July as expected. The city does this every year.
Your question made me realize I never see anyone with fireworks. It turns out most are banned in the state and the city has stricter laws. Anything that goes boom or bang is considered an explosive and sparklers are illegal.
