The Grand Finale: This one was supposed to have 50 fireworks in one. Only 20 or so actually went off. So after the parents went to bed after a long Diwali, we kids decided to set the thing on fire -- best/worst decision ever. Fireworks shot out in every direction; one nearly missed my leg. So. Much. Fun.

Every house on the block had pretty lights for Diwali
