God's light is always shining, even in the darkness. Dear Parvati ~ many thanks for all you wrote about Diwali. I too wanted to hang some Christmas Lights, but I believe all my holiday things are still in storage in Oregon. But I do have a light up ristra (a hanging bunch of, in this case, plastic chili pepper ~ southwestern, you know), so I may put that up. Everything that deepens my understanding of these holidays/holydays and their dieties is the sweetest nourishment to my soul.

Namaste Linda, As fellow New Mexicans on Hindu holidays we always hang the electric ristras (green and red chains) plus other holiday lights. It is normal in India and other areas of Asia that we have seen for Buddhist and Hindu temples to use colored electric light chains, neon OMs and other light arrangements.
