This is actually funny. Except for the kissing part, it’s very yucky. I was glad Eid is over because I was sick of all the kissing…ewwww it was my first “real” Jordanian Eid, and with all due respect to everyone, I now know for a fact that I hate the traditional Jordanian version of Eid, or maybe I hate Eid period. It’s just too much trouble for nothing. I mean, you feel this pressure to buy new clothes, do your hair, do your nails (and other things you really don’t want to know about!) and look fabulous for 3 days in a row. And it’s not looking good that is bothering me but the pressure to match the fabulous-ness of everybody else. So if you’re still reading this post, this means that I have to spend lots of money just because everybody else seems to be rich (although they really aren’t) when it comes to Eid and showing off infront of relatives and friends.And everybody seems to care about traditions and family all of a sudden.My relatives by the way, are early Eid birds so most of them didn’t get to see how FABULOUS I looked. Mind you, I’m almost never ready for visitors when it’s only 9 AM!
And by the end of Eid days, just think of all the sloppy cheeks of total strangers you had to kiss and your stomach problems due to gallons of Arabian coffee and tons of chocolate.
Oh well…
TOTALLLY hate all the kissing…esp when its when u greet ppl and then again when they leave. It gets worse if u need to seem them again later in the day and u still have to kiss everybody :s
im more of the get-outta-town kind of eid person. the good thing about jordanian eid is that no one seems to hold it against you if you decide to travel during the holiday
