Nina Fox Posted August 29, 2011 I was anticipating a very low-key Eid this year, because of the situation in Somalia. But I find the more I resist jumping in the streets, flying off the balcony (as I do), the more people are aggressively bringing me their joy and happiness at the rate of sanka la iska galinooyaa yaab. Didn't want to go get Henna, my older sister announced that she has asked the woman to come to our home. Didn't wanna get my hair done, my lil sister makes an appointment @ the Salon. Was so against getting a a new outfit, but mother dearest gifts me with a scrumptiolicious Dirac which has the most ardent dirac hater like me gushing. Did not make plans to go out (had a date with myself, a pint of Haagen Daz and 16 movies I downloaded habeen dhoweetoole) but my friend said she is kidnapping me for the evening for some surprise.....:confused: War heedhe ma anigaa waalan mise Uzbekistan aa laga gabyooyaaa. They are all claiming that all this is apparently very much at no cost to me. So I decided to suck it up and "pretend" to enjoy myself as this is my first Eid with my family in the last 4 yrs. I refuse to be a wet blanket. Everyone in my family is either high on something or are genuinely in a good mood. Im sure horta Juxa has Xalwo in her possession and Lily has a 3 tier Forest Gatteau stashed somewhere..... (Wax ii reeba bal aan idin duceeyeee). So what is everyone upto? Whatever you are doing, make sure you have fun. Eid Mubarak to y'all and your families Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like your sense of humour. To be honest, I don't think most Solers think that. But I honestly have no idea how some people got the impression that I've something against Islam. I've nothing against it nor, in fact, any other faith for that matter. And of course, I'll be celebrating Eid tomorrow, singing 'waa maalin ciidoo, cirkeeniyo dhulkeenaba, laga wada ciyaaree/lagu caana maalee.' :] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted August 30, 2011 Malika, maxaa, don't worry, booqasho u joognaa this wonderful planet. First Ciid in Afrika in 15 years ahayd, and I was really looking forward to it, sadly I got soooooo tired in around 12 pm that I needed a little nap. Let's just say the little nap inay hurdo dheer isku badashay that I missed a lot of folks to see. Sad. Sad. Sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abu-Salman Posted August 30, 2011 Ciid mubaarak, taqaballah mina wa minkum; So do you organise a mini party for the kids and their cousins as mum did it for us mothers and fathers of SOL? this is one of the rare occasions one can easily reunite the family,which we took very seriously (and this may explains my "leftist/people first" as it's hard to not empathise with others if one consider family/entourage as most important); our biggest gift as kids was joining or having one or few of habo's children staying with us, which was even more endearing than the Megadrive and other games (else, even holiday travels seemed bland). Even now as grown-up men, these memories of past follies and shared experiences bind us and energizes me more than anything else when my cousin visit me...

Malika Posted August 31, 2011 ^Yep - we do in my family, bring all the kids together - they organise themselves according to age groups and gender plus what activities they want to do. The little ones ofcourse need supervision, so those with the youngest children in the family end up doing that...Evening is for the ladies of the family, either the party is at one of the homes or out in town- as the men of the family are off to pay visit to their supplier[khat merchants]..lol. So yes, Eid tends to be one huge get together, laughter and joy all around! We leave the family bickering out side the gates on that day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
