Thanks everyone for sharing your traditions. I got a little bit from everyone...
So here's what I think I will do.
1) Rangoli (suggested by: everyone)
2) Diyas (suggested by: everyone)
3) Mithai. I think I will make some kaju barfi. (suggested by: everyone)
4) Donate something or volunteer. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do exactly.
(suggested by: Ankur and Sourish)
5) Make a gift for hubby (suggested by: Prashant)
This year I am going to make some sketches of his favorite things to hang in his office. The kurta will be next year :)
6) Decorate the house...as in change the settings, etc. (suggested by: Renu)
7) Buy some small (since I already have more than I need!) piece of jewellery (suggested by: my space)
8) Either invite someone for dinner (suggested by: everyone :) or watch a classic Bollywood movie (suggested by: Megha)
9) Send out cards to friends and family. At least they will think of me once a year ;-)
THANKS ALL!

At work, we all (Indians, Pakistanis and any other folks who wanna join) wear Indian clothes and go to an Indian restaurant for lunch. :) It's so much fun.
If its not too late...may I pass on a suggestion?
To add on to the Holiday cards idea...you can make your OWN cards and send them. That will be extra special and will have your personal touch. Michael's has so much stuff that you can buy to make your own greeting cards. It will be a fun project and people will proudly display your 'hand-made' cards :)
approved :)

Use candles to light up ur home. Turn off most lights in the house. It wud look awesome.
nice...lekin mera suggestion to ekdum over rule hoga :( !!
@kanan, last year we had worn Indian clothes and had a potluck at work, had a blast!
@cg, I had thought of that, but then was not sure how many would appreciate the "hand-made" part. I guess I can make them for some special folks and buy for the rest.
@prashant, :-)
@vrij, yeah, we use candles.
@tanu, yaar, zinda rehna chahti hoon, thats why.. But the kurta, as you suggested, will be red, whenever it will be made :)
Awesome ideas di. I was thinking of sending a card to parents also.
