I've had two groups of Eidiyya trick or treaters today, the first around seven thirty in the morning, a pair of girls in their Eid clothes and makeup, the second a group of four boys in red and green trimmed thobes with fake guns. The first time I panicked because I had been sleeping and I thought they wanted candy and I didn't have any candy and then I thought the girl was saying hediyya and I didn't have any presents to give them. The second time I didn't have enough baisa to give all of them. I hope I don't get any more, because I'm all out of baisa.
I am that person in all those tumblr posts who is spending Eid alone, but I don't want to be pitied. I had ice cream and coffee for breakfast after sleeping in.

ReplyDeleteMmmm, eggs, fried tomatoe, hashbrowns, and eggs instead harees, and hot chocolate and and tea with shortbread instead of qhawa... I am enjoying my lone Eid thus far;)
I like harees, but that sounds good!
DeleteHappy Eid to you too, Anon. I'm guessing you're on your phone, mine's always testing my patience when I try to time Islamic phrases in English.
ReplyDeleteI was ill and I didn't realise how much time had gone by without a post, it's amazing how it flies even when we're not having fun.
