We decorate the house with small lanterns and put a traditional big lantern on main door. Light diyas all around the house, Make rangoli, etc. For us Maharashtrians Diwali is for 5 days, so I prepare 5 sweets for 5 days plus I make faral items (Ladoo, Chakli/Murruku, Chiwda, Karanji/Gujiya, etc). On weekend we have Diwali party where we invite neighbors, friends and family. On laxmi-pooja day we visit temple. Since the birth of my son, Diwali is all the more special as his b'day will always come in Diwali so we have double celebration. We make a point to have family photo-shoot every year.
