The question has nothing to do with "being an adult." It's about sensitivity and finding the right approach.

Well I gave you the right approach. Go talk to your neighbors. Ask them about their beliefs and customs. Look for a compromise. There's nothing insensitive about that. People can learn from each other without being perfectly politically correct. I can assure you, as long as you're open minded you won't offend anyone.

My neighbors are actually very nice people. I don't know them well but we are cordial. I definitely plan to reach out to them today, but I really want to make sure that I hit the right note. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people are extremely sensitive especially around cultural issues so the post is about finding the right approach that does not make either me or them feel uncomfortable for an important holiday that they celebrate.

It might be enough to chuckle and say "that was some fireworks display last night" to get the information you're looking for.
