- Eat “fattah” for breakfast.
- Watch old plays (masra7eyat) on TV.
- Play with firecrackers (bomb)
- Call everyone after Eid prayers to say “Eid Mubarak”, you could of course take it a step further and call before prayers to wake everyone up.
- Take a shower (7omayet el 3eed, 3ashan el magary tetfa7)
- Wish you hadn’t eaten so much “fattah”.
- Try to trick your little cousins into exchanging their 3edeya 20LEs for lots of 25 piasters.
- Try to convince your uncles and aunts that you are not too old for a 3edeya.

KOlloh tammam ya Jessyz la7ad the “you are too old for the 3edya” part! I am never too old for an 3edya
Happy Eid Jassy and best wishes for you and your family.

, el fattah fatasetny 
@whisper: My uncle (mom’s brother) was the last one to keep the edeya giving until I got married.
@gjoez: they all stopped when I got married, except my husband hehehe he’s an oldfashioned sweetie who enjoys giving me money. I think because he’s sure it usually ends up back in the home budget and I rarely splurge or buy silly things.
@Tarek: hope u had a great eid too
@Nerro: heheh I don’t eat it actually bit I’ve seen everyone stuffed to understand the effect.
