We are laying low, playing games, watching movies. But tomorrow, we'll have our wonderful landlords down for "Thanksgiving" dinner.

I dunno: run a small charity to buy presents, food and clothes for orphans on this particular occasion, simply so I could have an excuse to get out of the house to a place where I can see faces light up and have it mean something.

For some really odd reason, it seems like our entire generation is so high on anti-eid sentiments. To me, eid is just another social showing-off parade. I mean I love family gatherings and all, its just that the joy of eid feels forced somehow within the family atmosphere especially if its not exactly religious. What I love though, is the eid prayer early morning. That is when it truly feels like eid, what with people racing to the mosque, when you can't even park your car on the street because its jam packed to the rim.I don't know if its okay to say this, but its at that time precisely that I can actually sense God in the air. Eid Mubarak to Muslims and non-Muslims all over this globe! If you ever start this new tradition, please let me in on it!

The only difference in Eid is that you get to visit more relatives. Don't listen to those who say there's really nothing you can do except hanging out with your friends in coffee shops... Emjoy your Eid! family, friends, ma3moul, Kerak... and when it's over, that's when you can cry for help, not now :D Nas, it’s about time that you discover how to spend your time in Jordan… The only difference in Eid is that you get to visit more relatives.

I had only three Eids outside Jordan, to me i feel it is the gathering of the family and your beloved ones who makes the joy. plus of course the ma3mol and the traditional Arabic coffee. anyhow, wish you all a happy Eid.
