Eid preparation

[pukhtana]

Since Eid is coming up soon tell us what you have prepared so far, what kind of clothes you have made for Eid and what you will be doing on Eid.

[Dukhtar-e-Kabul]

I have to usually clean up the house really neatly.
I have to prepare a lot of food since my husband invites plenty of his friends. Its a really happy day and we all make sure not to say anything that will mess up our mood. My husband and I both wear Afghan clothes and we all just get together to have fun. :P

[Laila]

I am doing henna for my sister on Thursday night.

Every Eid prayer, my whole family goes to the masjid together. We all wear our Afghan clothes. And since i came from Kabul, i bought them all new outfits. Then afterwards we visit all the generals, who where my grandfathers close friends. We also visit some other people's houses. Then that night we always go to my uncles house for a dinner and a gathering.

My father found a long lost cousin of his. So on Saturday we are visiting them.

Then week or two after Eid is over, my family holds a small gathering. And the women all dance and have a fun time


Pukhtana, care to share what your plans are for Eid?

[IamDZJ]

i m going for a nice long walk to the lake first thing in the morning. i will come back sometime around afternoon and by then every one should be too exhausted to come or go anywhere..

[IamDZJ]

no, not really. they used to be fun back in the days when we were younger. it's meaningless now so i don't see the point behind putting on a show twice a year.

Eid preparation starts a week before eid so i am preparing now. First thing comes with hard core cleaning the house... from kitchen to living room to bathroom to bedroom to every corner of the house has to be clean.

I have planned to make sweets at home... these are on my lists.

1. gosh e feel
2. kolchai shoor (salty kolchai)
3. Naan e roghani
4. Rott

Inshallah

it goes something like this...
get angaar and put on a serious look on your face....ANDD GO
i wash it, i cut it and i cook it. all you have to do is stand there with the freaking camera , take some pictures and post it in that damn website! is that too much to ask for?! throw in a few threats of not feeding him as well but make sure you don't make it sound like you mean it cuz if he chooses to defy you, you would still need to feed him.. cuz let's face it, he is your husband...GOOD LUCK!
