They are a chore to perform, especially in the US. My mom always made a big deal out of it and could not understand why we were not feeling the same way.

I will give up being a grinch if you give me an ornament-laden Eid tree. There should at least be an Eid tree. I will give up being a grinch if you give me an ornament-laden Eid tree.

Like you said, Christmas is marketed better. Even here, if you go to a store like Agha's, you see all the Christmas decorations, puddings, cakes and whatnot which lends a little bit of excitment to the holiday. On the other hand, Eid parr harr cheez becomes much more expensive with the result that celebrating Eid becomes a burden more than anything else. Eid is about spending time with your loved ones but instead we go around visiting relatives who have done nothing but gossip about us all year round. We don't really know how to celebrate our holidays/festivals, which is Eid seems less and less exciting as we grow older. Perhaps we need some of those gorgeous Marks and Spencer Christmas candles available here to add some colour and excitement to Eid. As for me, I love celebrating, be it Eid or Christmas :) Merry Christmas Anaar Begum. Now where's my turkey? Eid can be fun too, if done right. Like you said, Christmas is marketed better.
