    That is so cool. What I learned is that the one festival of lights are in India, Diwali. I also learned that in some places in Diwali they have fireworks. Mostly if you go to the festival of lights in Diwali you will be surrounded by lights and I mean surrounded by lights.Just saying if I was surrounded by like millions and millions of lights I think it be bright. I also learned that the festival of lights stay open like all night and probaily some of the morning. I know I said it would be bright, but I would really like to go see The Festival Of Lights some day, and it doesn't have to be soon as long as I see it.

                I hope they are careful with the oil lamps because if there is a fire then it will spread easily. My mother tells me the patterns they make with the colored sand is known as "Rangoli". Indian attire is very beautiful and colorful. Diwali is an auspicious day to buy gold jewelery, the gold shops probably make a fortune. It is very interesting to know that the calendar based on the lunar cycle is ahead of the conventional Christian Calendar. We are in 2012 and those who follow the lunar calendar are entering 2069!!!

                  It would be cool to actually be in India when Diwali was going on! I wonder how much it would cost for the fireworks, sparklers, candles, and matches? It would smell very smoky during Diwali. The people don't get any snow during their Christmas. It sounds like fun to get free treats from your neighbors. Some of the colored sand looks very wildly colored. I wonder how the sand gets its color? I have seen colored sand kits at the store before. I wonder if the American tradition of putting up Christmas lights come from Diwali?

                    It would be amazing to actually be there and see all of the lights! I wonder how much it would cost to buy the firecrackers, sparklers, candles, and matches? It must smell very smoky during Diwali. Their christmas doesn't have any snow, just a lot of lights. I wonder if the tradition of putting up Christmas lights in America came from Diwali?
