Crackers

Once again, it has started, many days before New Year’s Night. Crackers have been heard many times around us today. 


Some wildlife are afraid of crackers. Some dogs too – though, luckily, none of us. 


It is so unnecessary to fire crackers day in and day out around the change of years. It is based on old superstition, that crackers would scare away demons and other evil doers. It is also an expensive, short joy, for those who like it. 


If people would just keep to the tradition, and fire crackers at midnight on New Year’s Night, I could understand it. The current trend is just stupid and should stop.
