Hello. One thing that I liked about this post is that there is some interesting language like Inaugurated. I also did not know that this was a huge holiday. I thought that it was just one that they celebrate like presidents day. I also did not know that it started 2,500 years ago. That is definitely really old. I also think that it is interesting that it is 5 days long. I wonder what that would be like. Also I think that you should also read aksatra's article. Why i think that is because that it to was about the holiday, Diwali. Good Job!
