I think people like to see these fireworks, because they are lightening dark days and cause some warm feeling.<br />There is also fireworks at a few other occasions, for instance King's day, but not as much as in Spain or the USA.<br /><br />And in the last years some people want to stop the New Year's firework tradition, in which common people are allowed to buy fireworks and set off them by themselves at midnight, because every year the ERs are visited by too many people who have fireworks accidents. And it costs some eyes or even fingers/hands, at midnight due to unsafely setting off, or the next day when children search for the remains of firework and put them to fire.<br />Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738287346138273654.post-73947139824604338462016-11-06T12:33:05.408-08:002016-11-06T12:33:05.408-08:00Yes, it looks like a Catherine wheel.
