Diwali was on Oct 21st this year. Why is this story out now? Did the teacher know so little about Diwali that she couldn't even get the date correct?
Thank you! The dates for the Diwali festival don't fall anywhere near Christmas. It's just the schools way of being PC. Look at these dates :

According to the pattern on the chart listed at the Wiki page, it looks like Diwali will NEVER fall on or near Christmas. PC sucks @$$.
