Merry Diwali!!!

Diwali is a huge holiday in India. James and I first learned about it by watching The Office, but the real thing is a lot more interesting. Basically people put up lights and set out candles, share sweets with neighbors, say special prayers, and set off A TON of firecrackers. Here's the wikapedia quote: "Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshman from his fourteen-year-long exile and vanquishing the demon-king Ravana. In joyous celebration of the return of their king, the people of Ayodhya, the Capital of Rama, illuminated the kingdom with earthen diyas (oil lamps) and burst crackers.^[4]"
