    :)

    Thats how its been since last few years.

    Well the day starts from geting a shower/bath, wearing new clothes, eating a sweet breakfast and getting ready for Eid prayers. (Thats normally an hour after sunrise)

    Right after prayer its a community gathering and wishing everyone a happy Eid.

    Then people take off to home. Most families visit Friends and Ralatives each other during the day.

    Since I was a student we use to arrange a big Eid dinner inviting everone in community to a nearby restaurant. After dinner its always a small party. Newly married couple are invited on stage and we have a bit of a fun... :)

    Everyone have their own way of celebrating the day but at least Prayer is common everywhere.

    Hope I am clear enough....
