Why do people celebrate Diwali and Hanukkah in the middle of winter?
Diwali is celebrated in the Autumn. Hanukkah always starts on the Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev, and lasts for eight days. The Hebrew calendar does not line up with the western calendar because it has a completely different leap year system that can shift holidays each year by to 11-28 days. Here are the coinciding secular dates for the upcoming years. The candle lightings begin on the evening BEFORE the first date: 2011: December 20-28 2012: December 8-16 2013: November 27-December 5 2014: December 16-24 2015: December 6-1

How is Diwali celebrated today in Scotland?
Well, all over the world Diwali is celebrated rather differently... almost like Christmas! In India, people celebrate Christmas with only Santa Clauses in almost every store, and they don't do much celebration. They don't usually give gifts, or set up Christmas trees in their homes, or sing jolly songs... they cook their favorite meals with their closest friends and families and have fun, and watch movies, etc. In Scotland, I am sure they celebrate Diwali the same way most Indians do. Set up lights in their windows, light candles in their homes, do Poojas (prayers) every night before dawn, offer the offerings to the Godesses first, eat before dark... etc. Diwali is the festival of lights, and each and every family celebrates Diwali almost the same. There are many different families in Scotland who enjoy celebrating Diwali. So, in conclusion, there is no exact way of proving the way people in Scotland celebrate Diwali. Hope this helps! :)
