Eid: The short, single-syllable word conjures up a variety of feelings and memories for Muslims. Jubilant and filled with heart, Once Upon an Eid will bring joy to families during holidays and all year round.

Maybe it's waking up to the sound of frying samosas or the comfort of bean pie, maybe it's the pleasure of putting on a new outfit for Eid prayers, or maybe it's the gift-giving and holiday parties to come that day.

Whatever it may be, for those who cherish this day of celebration, the emotional responses may be summed up in another short and sweet word: joy.
