This is usually celebrated after ramadan which is where each day you cant eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. This goes on for a month. When it finishes we celebrate EID! We ussually get money for eid and go to this special festival in rockdale where there are rides and show bags and there are stalls selling drinks and hot food. Also there are stalls which sell arabic and english books and dvds, clothes and shoes. It is lots of fun Hi,

We used to dress up in national costume to go to school & we had an eisteddfod where we had competitions for poetry, art, story writing, plays etc. At bedtime, When I was little my Mum & Dad used to say "Up the wooden stairs to Bedfordshire" or "Up the apples & pears". Hi Allstars
