When I was a kid, the most important holiday for us was Eid, Me and my brother used to get so excited that we won’t sleep at night, we would hug our new clothes and sleep next to them, we would spend the whole night preparing plans for the next few days of Eid, to have a sleepover with my cousins, then to go and get عيدية (gifts) from our older family members, we would go out with our friends and eat out specifically shawarma and I would be so happy because I’m surrounded with all my family and friends. Then in the next few days we used to go to visit my mother’s side of the family in Rafah, for a Gazan going to Rafah is like travelling to another country. I have so many precious memories of us, when I look back it really breaks my heart thinking of all those memories. I haven’t celebrated Eid with my family for 5 years, ultimately I hate holidays now, for me I stopped celebrating Eid since I left Gaza, I never bought new clothes just for Eid, I haven’t hugged my family and kissed them...
