Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls 
What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

Americans buy fireworks for every conceivable holiday, but yes New Years is second to only 4th of July in random fireworks going off everywhere.
I used to buy fireworks from TJ, Mexico and bring them back to SoCal for fun. They're way fuckin better, I've seen Americans go to Mexico to celebrate it there because it's better in TJ and Rosarito
They're available year round?
Buddy, there are five dedicated fireworks stores within 20 minutes of my house
For comparison, there are two grocery stores in the same radius
Yes, sometimes even at the supermarket. Although I think it depends on the state.
In Finland, fireworks pop-up stands appear at supermarkets and malls in the week leading up to New Year's Eve and then they're gone
Thats identical to the US for at least half the states
Wait, you're Finnish and you're complaining about OUR dress up holiday? Isn't that the land of blackface Christmas?
No, that's the Dutch. I also have nothing against Halloween, just being shilled witch-shaped candy for the entirety of October
