Celebrating Eid
Yesterday we celebrated Eid.. last year I posted a more detailed post on the traditions of Eid. You can check it out here
M and the kids took the day off work and school and planned some activities.. starting with a big breakfast.
The day before Eid the kids helped me in the kitchen helping me make kharak (stuffed dates) and sheer khurma (a thick sweet milk, date, nut drink).
After breakfast we went to watch Sonic 2 in the theater.. as requested by the kids. The theater was completely empty.. it was like a private viewing! We could be as loud as we wanted, H got up a few time to dance and pretend fight and when the movie was over they ran a lap around the place as well. It was surreal. They both are wearing the Sonic T-shirts they got for Eid. They both got a ton of $$ from family and friends as well.
Eid Mubarak!!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed celebrating the day as a family! An empty theatre is a real treat. :)
ReplyDeleteHow strange that the theater was so empty. Were you keeping the kids home from school, so other kids wouldn't be there?

Before Covid, I would go to the theater and see a movie once a year while the kids were in school, just to see whatever I wanted and because the theater would be so nice and empty! It is nice it was empty when you went with them. I should start that back up again next school year! Ha! The bread and bananas is making me hungry!
