Eid

This past weekend, there was a Muslim holiday called Eid. This holiday is the equivalence to Christmas for Christians. All Muslims dress up in new adn formal attire and spend the day with friends and family. My day consisted of 4 hours at the mosque. From 10am-2pm, I ate brunch and prayed at the mosque and met up with my friends there. Afterwards, my friends came back to my house to celebrate with sweets and board games. It provided a sense of comfort and happiness, the same kind a child gets on Christmas Eve. At 6pm, my friends and I departed ways to go eat dinner with our families. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, all get together and exchange gifts while eating tons of Arabic food. The holiday, even though it was one day, made my entire weekend special and memorable.
