[quote=Anonymous]We do a massive deep-cleaning before the festival (undergoing right now) of the house and yard. 
- Kids help to make the diwali packages  (box of sweets, diyas, sparklers in gift bags) and we go to our friends himes to drop it off
- Decorate outside with string of lights
- Make rangoli with the help of the kids
- Decorate the pooja thali and the prayer room
- Light candles and lights all over the house
- Sit and do a nice pooja
- Light Sparklers outside.

For kids -
1)With a few friends. tell them the story of Ramayan or have a puppet show. 
2)  Paint and decorate diyas, pooja thalis or even decoupage some tree ornaments with Diwali or Hindi religious pictures (No swastk please, the Nazis messed that for us in countries outside of India), and hang it on a tree in the yard. 
3) Make Rangolis with colored chalk. 
4) Carve a pumpkin with an Om Symbol and light a candle inside it
5) Make a fall wreathe and hang it outside with some Hindu symbols - om, kalasg etc
6) Make door hangings with Diwali themed items/
7) Have a bonfire, 
8) Light sparklers
9) Wear Indian clothes. Takes loads of pictures. Put it on social media. 
10) Make easy Indian sweets - microwave barfis and also make smores on the bonfire.
