Since the advent of the global pandemic, the world has undergone unprecedented changes. From everyday simple activities to festivities, everything was upturned. During the first year of the pandemic, there was a spike in the number of cases of COVID-19 and hence, the government issued strict guidelines in the following year and it is entirely possible that this way of celebrating Eid will be the new reality for some years to come. But fret not, because the spirit of festivity can stay alive even inside the four walls of your home – you can have great food together and send Eidiya along with an Eid card to your loved ones who aren’t close by. Not just these, there are some other fun ways to celebrate Eid when Social Distancing as well. They are as follows:
Bring out Your Inner Creative
Decorating your home along with your kids, parents and other family members can turn into some of the fondest memories you have of Eid. You can create your own decorations, or you can order decorations online. Whatever your preferences, this is a wonderful chance to spend some quality time with your loved ones.
Dress up for the Occasion
It is understandable that during the night of takbir many individuals prefer to go outside but it’d be best if you avoid crowds and go outside entirely. However, there is no rule that stops you from dressing up at home. Eid is one festival that everyone waits for around the year, and just because you can’t go outside doesn’t mean that you can’t dress up and enjoy the day with your family members.
Connect Virtually
From office meetings to school lectures, everything shifted online. And you should take advantage of these video communication apps as well. Host an online dinner or a game night with your friends and family and enjoy each other’s company from the safety of your respective homes.
Send Gifts and Cards Online
Exchanging gifts is one of the most important rituals and the younger ones definitely look forward to it. The pandemic shouldn’t dampen their happiness. You can select and send personalized hampers and greeting cards online to your loved ones. Receiving physical gifts and cards will also make them feel special on this day.
Attend Online Events
Several artists, comedians and poets will be hosting virtual events to keep fans entertained. Whatever it is that interests you, simply make an online search for it and you will definitely find a virtual event that you can register for and enjoy the evening with your favorite celebs.
Social Distanced Prayers
While the government has already issued strict protocols, it is important to look after your personal safety as well. Prayers that will be held outside will need to follow the social distancing norms. If you and your family are planning to attend prayers outside make sure that you wear your mask, carry your own prayer mats and properly follow the protocols. It is advisable for the elderly, the children and the people who are in contact with positive patients to stay indoors.
Conclusion
Eid is a wonderful way of celebrating life with your loved ones. Even with the social distancing norms, you can rejoice in the spirit of the festival. Whether you are sending your loved ones a beautiful card from Mailedit DMCC or you decide to host an online dinner, there are several ways you can make social distanced Eid celebrations memorable too.
