I loooooooove ramadan time its sooo fun!It just feels different than all the other months!!! Really it fels so happy!Ramadan songs on tv allt he time and the ramadan soap operas which aftyer fitar everybody watches, smelling the food from the kitchen and just standing over my moms head waiting for her to finish, and on the streets there are lights hung everywhere!!!!!! and people selling all kinds of stuff on the stret and i looove those lanterns, just look at all the buildings and youll find people hanging huge versions of them in their balcony or hanging lights (we did!) and all the restaurants have huge tables infront of them cause they make a free fitar to poor people or people who wont be able to make it home in time and not only restaurants but mosques too, and if youre on the road during fitar people in the street go around giving you bottles of water and dates or some people give out meals, you feel like everybodys doing good its really freaky to see everyone so happy and giving and nobody curses or wears and before fitar all the people are buying stuff from the streets and there are theses people who take corn and lke grill them and all kinds of stuff are being sold, and always in ramadan (not always biut most days) the whole family comes and like one day we go to my uncle another we got to my aunt..... but on the first day we all go to my grandmas house(cause shes the head of the family) and i mean the WHOLE family plus second cousins and my dads uncles everybody!!!! and we all have fitar there, and iis especially special if youre gonna have fitar ata historical place cause then they fire a cannon. And in most places (sadly not my neighborhood)before the fajr time everybody eats and drinks and a guy comes around just hitting on this drum saying eake up o sleepy one to remind people to wake up, you feel so...tingly like.....i have no idea how to explain it but it feels good!Only a week left till ramadan (i think)!!!YAAAY!!!
