Ang Kuwitis o Paputok
Ito ang makabagong paraan na i celebrate ang pasko o bagong taon sa mga Kristiyanong lugar o bansa. Nagbibigay dagdag ng saya at sabi nila ay pantaboy ng kamalasan sa buhay ang nagpapaputok sa araw ng bagong taon. May naniniwala na ito ay pag welcome ng bagong yugto ng buhay.
Ngunit paano naman ang mga mahirap na hindi makabili ng kuwitis? Noong kami ay bata gamit lang namin ang kawayan lagyan ang butas ng gas, hihipan, at lalabas ang apoy sa kabilang butas sa dulo at ito ay nagbibigay ng malakas na putok dinig pa sa ibang baryo. Ito ginagawa sa taga bundok na tao tulad ko.
Ngunit sa siyudad makita ang magarbong paputok minsan dinadayo pa para panuorin ang ganitong makulay na kuwitis habang nagbibigay ng ibat ibang kulay habang pumuputok sa himpapawid. Bawat putok ay dama natin ang lakas ng pintig ng puso natin. Maganda at nakakatutuwa talaga ang nanonood ng paputok. Hudyat ng pagsalubong ng bagong taon umaasa na maitaboy ang kamalasan at papasok ang swerte ng buhay kasama ang tunog ng bawat putok sa mga makukulay na kuwitis.

The Fireworks
This is the modern way to celebrate Christmas or New Year in Christian areas or countries. It gives extra joy and they say that setting off fireworks on New Year's Day is a way to ward off bad luck. Some believe that this is a way to welcome a new phase of life.
But what about the poor who can't buy fireworks? When we were kids, we just used bamboo sticks, put gas in the hole, blow, and the fire would come out of the other hole at the end and it would give a loud bang that could be heard in other villages. This is done by mountain people like me.
But in the city, seeing fancy fireworks sometimes makes us go to watch these colorful fireworks while giving different colors while exploding in the airspace. Each explosion makes us feel the strength of our heart beat. Watching fireworks is really beautiful and enjoyable. It is a sign of welcoming the new year, hoping that bad luck will be repelled and that life's luck will enter with the sound of each explosion in the colorful fireworks.
Thank you so much and inviting @sarimanok @jurich60 and @me2selah
By far not everyone buys fireworks. Those with the colors are most expensive and with us it is discouraged. The day after the streets are covered with the leftovers and if it rains the mess is terrible. I do like it thought especially if it's a show. I have one very good memory of it but believe the drones are more popular today. If that's a good thing? I like it if old habits, culture, will be kept alive. Unfortunately the firework shows are mostly held in the "big" cities and the rest of the people can drop dead.
In our country it is now forbidden to set off fireworks and buying them is also not possible far in advance, although I saw a company that simply sells fireworks all year round. Also for birthdays or weddings, among other things.
Most of what is sold are firecrackers and loud bangs and what we call the 'screaming kitchen maids'. The decorative fireworks are many times more expensive and also not what they used to be.
An uncle who was a shipbuilding engineer brought the SOS arrows with him on New Year's Eve and set them off. The sky in the entire area was then covered in a color for a long time (no, nobody came rushing).
In Enschede (in the Netherlands on May 13, 2000) there was a fireworks disaster. This was not because people set them off but caused in a fireworks factory. The question is still whether it was set off or...
In the video below you can see how people came out onto the street to watch because they heard bangs but nobody knew what was going on. An entire residential area was wiped out.
When you see this, I don't think evil spirits were chased away.

Ony God! What a disaster happened to this video and it also happened in the Philippines before the Christmas eve. Imagine how it caused death of many people when the firecrackers exploded and burned the whole factory. It been said that they lack of security and dull management and poor quality.
It is already prohibited in public , there were a lot of victims like their hands cut because of lighting it with their bare hands and before he throw the lighted firecracker, it exploded in his hand. I love watching it but I don't like to light it by myself.
Here in Saudi Arabia they made public fireworks display during a special holiday nation wide . They spent millions but it done with the expert. Fireworks display were already installed in the plaza and there's a limited distances from the venue with the people who watch it. It must be properly manage by the experts. One time I was there and promise not to see it again. It caused traffic and when there is a disastrous situation, you can't get away from the venue. It might be causing stampede.
Playing trumpet is the safest way to create noise as they believe it to welcome good energy.
