Imagine strolling through the streets of India and around dawn. You would most likely see people couch down in front of their house, drawing lotus rangolis with colored sand. Diwali is the celebration of “good over evil.” It is the most popular celebration in India. In hindu culture, it resembles the triumph Krishna made over the demon Narakasura. Over in North India, people celebrated it as the return of Rama to Ayodhya, after slaying the king Ravana by lighting rows of clay lamps. The streets would be packed with people buying flowers, clothing, and gold. Toward the last day of Diwali people light fireworks and dance.

I learned that people celebrate Christmas many ways. Many people put up Christmas trees, artificial and real, and decorate them. Sometimes people also hide a "pickle" on these trees or anywhere. If you find the pickle, then you would get a gift, or you get to open the first present on Christmas morning. Most people write Christmas cards and send it to their parents, siblings, or anyone. You also might find people wearing ugly sweaters. On Christmas people get together and exchange gifts.
