My favorite holiday is the Eid (both Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha). The reason why I like it is because it's a time for kids( and a false excuse for adults :) ) to get a chance to buy new clothes and enjoy the Eid days usually hanging out with their friends and go to neighboring homes and ask for candies. As for the adults, Eids are a great time for get-togethers withing the large family members and also among the long-time-friends groups and reminisce the good old days. It's also a time to commemorate the dead relatives and friends. It's also a perfect time to remember the needy and seek for chances for charities and donations and also sharing the time and joy together with them. These days also render excellent chance to help bring people who have fallen out or haven't been talking t each other due to rows or fights. Below are some images of such days:  Those who would like to learn a bit more about the Eids can go to [] for more information.
