Ozcelik fondly remembers her mother's tradition of giving her gifts of new clothes and shoes at each Eid. Those garments she wore with joy throughout the festivities and carefully stored them away in her closet to be worn again during Eid al-Adha, another Muslim holiday that follows weeks after. "I have a clear memory of being overjoyed with the new clothes and holding them close as I went to bed on the eve of the festival," she reminisced, with a smile on her face.
