Dear blog viewers,
This week I shall present you with a little sneek peek about what Diwali is. You may like it or may not but you'll surely learn something about it! I hope you enjoy and learn from it.
To start off I'd like to tell you that Diwali is a indian holiday that comes once a year. Diwali is the day before the indian new year. Just like there's new year's eve Diwali is the indian form of new year's eve before the indian new year. There is no according date what day Diwali comes. Luckily this year Diwali came throughout the fall break so for the kids it was celebreted grandly.
Every Diwali we light up seven candles and and place them around the house. This year it was from Wednesday through Sunday. On Wednesday we wash some money to show that we respect the money. On Thursday we pray to all the gods. On Friday and Saturday we go to the temple to go and get offerings and then on Sunday we go to visit people and wish them a very happy new year! So that is what Diwali is!
