- Wake up early (if you want to) and wake your family members up.
- After showering, put on your best clothes and spray your best perfume.
- Compliment yourself and others. Tell yourself how beautiful and glowing you are, tell yourself how pretty your clothes are, and tell others nice things about them.
- Take a lot of pictures and videos with your loved ones.
- Play Eid songs and sing along! Bonus point if you can get your loved ones to join you.
- Watch television with your whole family.
- Be playful and make harmless jokes about one another.
- Exchange duit raya with one another.
- If there are little kids, spend at least some time with them.
- Send your greetings to your friends online.
- Be careful if you want to visit people! Remember, COVID-19 is still a threat.
- Eat whatever you want! (I’m so sorry if you struggle with eating disorder, body dysmorphia, or anything else, and I won’t force you to do things you aren’t comfortable to do, I want you to know that your pain and suffering are valid. You deserve every love and happiness in the world. All body types and sizes are beautiful, including yours. You are an amazing human being, I’m so proud of you! The society and the media lied to you when they told you bad things about your body. There’s no such thing as perfect body, I wish everyone understands that and get rid of the harmful, unrealistic beauty standards. I’m so sorry if we’ve failed you. I wish I could hug you right now.)
Hi! Ibadat are not mentioned in the list because I’m not sure if it’s proper or not to place ibadat among “cute things”. I mean, ibadat are religious and holy so I really don’t know. Nevertheless, please know that as fun as Eid can be, we must never forget our duty as Muslims!
