New Year 2012 Fireworks Celebration In Hochheim Germany This is a video of some of the massive display of fireworks by individuals in celebration of the New Year in Hochheim Germany...
Every year, after the stroke of midnight, individual German citizens begin to light of fireworks.
For 2012, the government authorized the use of fireworks that were much bigger than in the past.
The result was a lot more money being spent by the citizens than in the previous year - 2011.
The use of fireworks to celebrate the New Year is something that is not widespread in the United States.
Perhaps this type of celebration will become popular in the US one day.
One drawback for the city workers is that every year there is a big mess to clean up.
Because the fireworks are lit by individual Germans, they collectively make a much larger and longer display than a city government might achieve through its own expenditures.
