What
tradition are you grateful for?
There
are traditions we have established over the years as a family and some as an individual
that I hold dear.
Movie
nights with the kids
Midnight
feasts when they were little
Our
annual Eid party
Our
various Eid traditions (you can read about these
here)
My
favourite Ramadan traditions are a few:
Making
decoration and decorating the home together with the children
Having
a nap in the afternoon (usually after work) which I don’t always outside of Ramadan
Having
iftar together as a family. I’m not sure why this is a favourite because I spend
every day telling the kids to give me two minutes of pace to make dua and not
getting it. But I do enjoy us sitting down together.
Coffee,
desert and blogging after iftar so that I get some time to sit down quietly,
with the kids in bed, and rest before the night prayer.
The
one tradition that I am most grateful for is gathering with my wider family at
my mums house for Eid lunch and spending the day together dressed in nice
clothes, eating good food, laughing, taking pictures and generally feeling good
about life. This year it looks like we might not be able to do this, but I am
grateful to Allah (SWT) for making us really appreciate each other and everything
we have and not take it for granted.
