[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP with the list of 10 things, in this day and age why would you want to advertise your religion on your front door? No way would I hang or put any religious symbols on my front door or porch.

A few years ago, there was this gang from New York that Targeted Indian homes and stole things - the give away was the religious decorations outside the home.

You do realize that this was a thread for fun Diwali activities for kids?

Don't worry, we no longer keep 24 K gold jewelry in our house in atta dabbas. Everything is pure fake in the best tradition of Art Karat. I am actually quite comfortable advertising my religion because I live in Montgomery County, Maryland, and in one of the most diverse places in US.  Which means that that this October started with Navarathri, visiting Golus, Durga Pooja and will continue with Karva Chauth, Dhanteras, Diwali and Bhai Dooj.  You know what?  We celebrate it all, with other Indians and our neighbors from all over US and the world, because it is all about the FOOD. Of course then there will be Halloween and next month we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with Tandoori Turkey.  But frankly, my hippie-dippie American neighbors, who are originally from Penselvania and Texas...love Holi because of all the colors and because we hand out bhang-infused edibles to them, in the name of prashaad.

- pp with the 10 things wallah list!!
