"These are our ANCIENT TRADITIONS"

Yeah sure they are buddy, people in this town were totally exploding fireworks 300 years ago at 4AM. Is being a drunkard your family tradition too?

China is probably the one place that can lay claim to that particular tradition being ancient. They go hard for spring festival.
