I did some research on why people shoot fireworks:
In Chinese mythology there was a monster that destroyed homes in a village. Everyone in the village packed their things out of FEAR and went to search for another place to set up Home, except one man who decided to seek the council of a wise man.
The wise man told him that the Monster feared bright colours (metaphor for Light) and loud noise. So the man painted his front door bright red and gathered bamboo and set the bamboo on fire which caused explosive sounds to erupt near his house to ward of the demon and it worked.
And in German mythology guns were shot to ward off winter spirits to welcome spirits of spring.
To me this means to look at the year that has come to pass, and seeing all the bad and darkness overcome during that period, and burying that past 'ghosts or demons' (the troubles experienced) for good, by keeping your spirit bright and shining, being loud (meaning showing great signs of Life and fervour of Spirit, a will to fight for survival, a will to live, to stop at nothing, fighting until that 'inner demons' are defeated - A WILL OF LIGHT AND LIFE scaring the darkness off!!) not allowing them to haunt you, or to keep you worrying without end, not allowing them to control your life dumping you again in the sorrow of a vicious circle by letting bygones be bygones... going into this year with a lighter and fighting fit Spirit.
Be mature enough to let that which died with the spiritual winters be dead - don't go digging it up again, and drive yourself crazy with the same old sh!t... what was done is done... something ugly had to die to make something beautiful grow... thus don't dig old sh!t up that could kill your beautifully grown flowers NOW!!
