Family tradition

Here are a few pix from a KJ family tradition. The girls and I yearly attend the Festival of Holi A.K.A. the Festival of Colors at the Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. The ugly witches face is a Hindu witch/goddess named Holika who apparently would drag children into large fires to kill them because she couldn't be killed by fire (I'm not making this up). Alas, Hokika's murderous days were numbered because she tried to drag a young devotee of Krishna into the fire, but this young lad constantly chanted Krishna's name and was saved from burning and instead Holika was consumed by the flames.  Hence, before the colors fly, they stick a giant orange-faced witch on a bon fire and torch that sucker.  It's basically Calcutta's answer to Salem, Mass.  It's good clean fun--so to speak--and then I know Spring is officially in the air--pun intended--not by seeing my wussy tulips in the yard (Todd). By the way, little brother, your daughter's gesture to me is actually her showing everyone how many pages are in your joke book. I already knew.
