- Host an Eid open house. One of our fondest Eid memories growing up was visiting friends in the area after Eid prayer, greeting them with “Eid Mubarak”, and having snacks, chai, and dessert. We only stayed for ten to fifteen minutes and went to the next house. Some years, our family would host the open house. Let’s bring back this tradition!
- Attend local Eid celebrations and/or carnivals
- Decorate your house with lights, but try not to go overboard!
Happy Eid!!!
