However, the journey to receiving Eidi is not always smooth sailing.

For many, Eidi is a way to relive their own childhood memories and connect with younger family members. Sometimes, it's not all fun and games. Yes! It's also an opportunity to spread joy and blessings within the community, fostering a sense of togetherness and generosity.
Of course, no discussion about Eidi is complete without mentioning the hilarious memes and jokes that flood social media during this time.
