The holiday season in Nepal

I see this was posted last year before Christmas. I spend holidays wherever i am. When i lived in Thailand, chiang mai, there was classic Christmas music playing constantly in the malls and christmas decorations were up everywhere to appease the tourists. I LOVED christmas in Pokhara. Very little fanfare with just a few restaurants having special food. So nice not to have to listen to the christmas songs. There is a holiday called Diwali here that is WAY more fun with artistic drawings on the sidewalks to  encourage good fortune and, i think, guide the goddess Lakshmi into the home or place of business.  There is dancing in the streets and it is a fun time around Oct-Nov. Basically, i don't miss western holidays. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
