Hi my dear muslim friends,How does Eid celebrations compare to Christmas celebrations? Why is Eid celebrated twice in one year and Christmas only once? What eid should be like epically in the 'Middle East'? I know some information but I want to know more about it :)

Heyy dear Andrea, well ok I will tell u some information about our eid. Christmas is celebrated for the birth of Jesus Christ on the 25th of December and the gifts the three kings gave to him, but Eid is not celebrated for any prophet's birth or any significant dates. Eid is an Islamic name meaning ‘Festival’ or ‘Celebration’, and is celebrated throughout the world by all Muslims. It is equivalent to Christians celebrating Christmas.
There are two Eids celebrated every year, one is called Eid Ul Fitr and the other called Eid Ul Adha. The main difference being, the first is celebrated after the month of Ramadan, the month of fasting, and the other is celebrated about two and a half months from the end of Ramadan, which is the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, and is a festival of sacrifice and pilgrimage to Makkah in Saudi Arabia.
Eid is such a celebration that it brings families and friends closer and people make stronger ties with each other. Everyone invites one another to their homes for snacks and savouries and then they go to someone elses house to do the same, the celebrations start with people buying new clothes (a few days or weeks before), gifts and treating one another with their hospitality and food. After the Mosque prayer in early morning, all men hug each other three times then go home or to other family members’ homes to wish them ‘Eid Mubarak’. One of the most important things that take place in either Eids, and everyone continues to do so, is visit the sick and offering prayers for the deceased and visit graveyards. Another important part of celebrating Eid is paying ‘Zakat’ (Islamic religious tax, which is given to purify one’s wealth), which is paid before, or in the morning before the prayer to the poor.
I hope you have a better understanding of what Eid is.
