That festive time has arrived

Diwali, the Indian festival of lights, has arrived for the better part of a week.

Ask.com says Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs in India and all over the world. It is a five-day celebration occurring in October or November. Diwali was Saturday, Oct. 21 this year. It is on Friday, Nov. 9 next year.

I hope you are invited to a festival near you, or even very far away, sometime soon.
