On the 4th of July, I borrowed a friend's Nikon Coolpix 8700, which has a fireworks mode. I took 180 pictures and wasn't sure what any of them would look like, but when I downloaded them, I was just amazed at how cool they turned out. I just decided to make some of my favorites into a montage for my dad, who was watching the fireworks with me.
Each photo itself seems to be excellent, and when combined are simply stunning. Great idea. My only nitpick would be the first and third on the bottom row that are chopped off.
Agreed. What I would have done is put a 1-2 pixel white border around each separate photo.

With those 12 shots you could have the makings of a nice calendar, perhaps with this montage as the front or back cover, or as the top half of a single-pager with this on top and the calendar on the lower half. A 12 x 18 print is only about $4 and would be a good size for a small office wall calendar.
I'd personally get overly clever, with tiny fireworks pics on the holidays and such, but it can be done quite simply also : )
