for me, it wasn't the fireworks that woke me up early in the morning - it was a neighbours cock crowing at 5.00 am. Every night i hoped they had decided to eat it. Thankfully one day they did enlightened

It's a superstition, It is believed that fireworks at late night can bring good luck to the new home you are about to move in.
