Happy Divali & Bonfire Night!



Hello wonderful readers :D
Happy Divali and Bonfire Night!
(2 different festivals, they're on the same day this year :P)
I've just been checking on Stardoll,
and I can't really see anything to do with the festivals,
So that's a shame :S

For those of you who don't know,
I'll explain a bit about them for you here :D


1. Bonfire/Guy Fawkes Night  
It is traditionally celebrated in the United Kingdom,
but over the years, many other countries began to celebrate it aswell.
It's in 'memory' i guess of a man named Guy Fawkes who tried to blow up the English Parliment (AKA, the 'Gunpowder Plot')
back on the 5th November 16O5.
People often burn dummies made of cardboard or something that represent Guy Fawkes,
And most people also do fireworks displays :D
 

2. Divali /Deepavali
Divali is an Indian festival and it is the Festival of Lights. It is celebrated in Hindiusm, Sikhism (me :L) & Jainism.
People often light many lamps and candles (i just got back from lighting quite a few at the Gurdwara, and we currently have loads around the house ;D) and we eat loads of sweets and wear new clothes etc.
We also light fireworks and stuff on Divali aswell(:
