Celebrating Eid

How do you usually celebrate Eid? Also, do you recall a specific Eid that is the most memorable to you? If so, how did you spend it?

Re: Celebrating Eid

Bachpan ki Eid used to be memorable . Now, its just a routine day after Eid namaz.

Re: Celebrating Eid

Yeah we had some fun Eid times too in our childhood, going out for BBQ with family and friends , used to be the highlight of the day ..

But now Eid is more of a quiet affair, max we manage is a Eid milan party :)

Re: Celebrating Eid

the best 'Eid i had was in the years i used to live in my village. those were the best 'Eids by far. i can give the details if you want me to. :)

Re: Celebrating Eid

Nice answers. Maybe our childhood Eids are more memorable, because it's the adults who are doing all the cooking, bringing over the food and/or giving out the Eidi. However, when we grow up and become adults ourselves, it's usually the other way around. :@: When I think of my own childhood Eids, some things that spring to mind are: praying at the mosque, shalwar kameez and dupattas, as well as mithai and samosas.

Okay, let's hear those details!

Eid celebration in your culture

Eid or Meethi Eid (Eid-ul-Fitar) is major festival. How do people of different culture celebrate it?

What do you eat on Eid day? What are the specifics of Eid celebration?

Is Eidi sub continental thing? Do you receive cash in Eidi?

How is you overall day?

Re: Celebrating Eid

Of course there is. I’m born and raised in US and our Eid’s are amazing because we make an effort to make it that way.

My kids enjoy and look forward to Eid as much as any kid in a Muslim country.

What do you do to make Eid enjoyable?

Re: Celebrating Eid

Every year their are Chaand raat melas and from my masjid, we have a chaand raat get together for mehndi and such for all the women/girls....

We start off Eid at the masjid for namaz, which is followed by a community naashta there..it's a whole Eid carnival...bouncy houses, pony rides, face painting, goody bags etc. After that we go to my nani's house where the whole khaandan is assembled....we stay for awhile, then go to the inlaws....come back to my family's eid party at night where we do gift exchanges and eidi pass out, as well as some sort of games for the kids.

Aside from that, I have separate Eid parties planned with my friends circle on the weekends following Eid.
