Every event for me sadly starts-off by looking at the calender.. if the day falls on sat/mon/wed..is a normal day for us with my mother's dialysis.
Otherwise, since both of my parents are the eldest from both sides..they ALL gather at our house..which is NOT fun cuz my maid takes the day-off and I usually spoil my dress while cooking =( not to mention that the guests know u're menu beforehand just by a whiff of u're clothes!
And this year Eid for us is on a Monday, which means Eid at the hospital.
