This Eid, we\u2019re trying something different. <\/p>\n

Each year I try to make the Islamic Holidays in our home more \u2018holiday.\u2019 this year, I\u2019m focusing on Eid decorations. People have shared their pictures with me, have made suggestions, and they never really fit well with me. They always seemed like birthday party decorations mixed with Christmas decorations in a piecemeal sort of way.<\/p>\n

Kate brought home a segmented snake from art class a few weeks ago, and from there\u2026the Eid banner idea started to take hold. 3 days ago, we made templates, found the scrapbooking paper and card stock. 2 days ago we traced and cut out all the shapes. Yesterday, we layered the shapes together and printed out the letters. Today, we finished the assembly and hung it up! <\/p>\n

It is a few \u2026 12 days early, but I\u2019ve heard that a lot of people decorate the last 10 days, and others, the whole month.<\/p>\n
