I was about to start on another post regarding Eid when I realized it makes more sense to go on with this one than to have two separate Eid-subjected posts in my Friendster blog. Besides leaving this one with just a photo of Kenji and I as ���our greeting card��� seems too generous of space. So I had better stick to this post and make full use of the space here.
Just in case you might want to know how Kenji and I celebrated the first day of Eid, check out our schedule below:
- 6:20am ��� woke up/had shower/had breakfast/ironed Kenji���s clothes
- 7:30am ��� Kenji left for a mosque in the city for Eid prayer/I cleaned our home
- 9:30am ��� Kenji came back/We watched some Eid-related program on TV
- 12:00pm ��� Left home for my parents��� place
- 12:30pm ��� At my parents' place, Kenji and I had lunch (typical Eid cuisine). Then we gave out some amounts of money, wrapped in a specially prepared envelope for the celebration, to each of my family members (similar to giving presents on a Christmas day)
- 1:00pm ��� Left parents��� place for my grandparents��� home for more Eid cuisine ��� grandparents��� home every year a meeting point before the next few house visits. Kenji and I distributed some more money to some little cousins + nephews/nieces + grandma + grandpa before all relatives journeyed on together to other homes
Well that���s it, basically. We continued doing the same things such as dining and meeting people, as well as giving out money to the elderly and the young, and ended up visiting 6 relatives��� homes that day. Not as many as how we used to though when my cousins and I were much younger, yet the joy we had on that day never ceased to measure up to the joy and happiness we have always had on every "1st day" of Eid.
