Growing up in Saudi Arabia, Eid al-Fitr was the main holiday for Mona Aslam. So, when she moved here, she made it her mission to instill the excitement for Eid that she grew up with in her kids, who were more familiar with the holiday cheer of Christmas and Thanksgiving. “Slowly and slowly, my kids grew up – teaching them what Eid is and how you get excited  and making sure that we had Eid decorations at home and talking to them about why we celebrate Eid, what the value of Eid is,” Aslam said. “And now . we all make sure that we clean the house, we cook good food and I plan an open house every year.”
