Of Lighting A Firecracker on New Year’s Eve And Driving The Wrong Demons and Evil Spirits Away
“All is quiet on New Year's Day A world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day…” New Year’s Day, U2 Just like that and Christmas is over and done with, disappointing a lot of people who want a longer Christmas celebration. It is not a secret that a lot of people are addicted not to the concept and message of Christmas itself but the revelry that comes with it. In fact, even those who don’t believe in Jesus are excited much with Christmas. But when I was younger (elementary years to more than a decade ago), I was more excited with the prospect of celebrating New Year than Christmas— because of firecrackers. New Year would still be hours away then but we’d already be busily and happily exploding powerful firecrackers—while drinking. Yes, the danger in those twin activities always inexplicably escaped us during those times.
