Yeah, it is. Hi, my name is Manali, and Holi to me means celebration and community and joy.
And I really enjoy Holi because my community celebrates Holi. And I really love, like, watching movies that have Holi in them where they, like, spray each other down with a hose and then throw color everywhere. My name's Avi. I'm in second grade, and something I do for Holi is go to my friend Aiden's house so we can squirt watercolors on each other.
My name is Sejal. I'm in second grade. And Holi means to me is like having fun with your family and spending quality time. My favorite part of that is that you get colors and you basically throw them at people. Hi, my name is Sahara. I'm in fourth grade. One way that me and my family celebrate Holi is we usually get sweet. And we do rangoli out on our porch. If you don't know what rangoli is, it's colored sand. People spend lots of time making it. And then we put candles.
Hi, my name is Aiden. I'm in fourth grade.
And the way my family usually celebrates Holi is I usually talk to my grandma or zoom, call my grandma.
And my grandma usually sends me treats from Chicago.
My name is Miles. I'm in first grade, and one of my favorite parts of Holy is the fireworks. And I like staying up really late, so the fireworks keep me awake.

And at. At first, we actually didn't do much about it. We just kind of like, oh, today's Holy. And then we have like, a some, like, special, like, Indian food for dinner. But now we used to go out to these parks and do these big, like, holi things, and we throw the powder around. And this year we're gonna go down to Irvine, and with my mom's side of the family, which is mostly Indian, we're gonna do a big holy party crazy thing.
[00:02:37] Speaker A: Well, my name's Trinix. I'm in third grade. And most of the time we like, like, use powder with stencils and put the powder in to make, like, a design.
And yeah, we have Indian food for dinner most of the time.
[00:03:05] Speaker C: Hi, I'm Sufia and I'm in eighth grade. A fun Holi story is one time when I was really little. I was 6 years old, and I was with my aunt, and it was after Holi, so we were all covered in, like, powder, and, you know, we were filthy. And we were at her house, and she sat on her chair for, like, a solid 20 minutes watching TV with me until she realized that she was still covered in powder. And then she had to throw away the chair, and she screamed, if you.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: Don'T celebrate Holi, I think you should know. You want to, like, get us some powder?
There's a ton of powder. You use it for a lot of stuff with stencils. Are you using it to throw up people so you get all dirty and powder and white clothes so you can seal it and. Yeah, basically tons of powder. It'll be a magical experience.
Do you know that we're doing it this Friday right here at Park Day?
