Another heartwarming feature of the festival is the tradition of gift giving, especially to children. Adults give sweets, chocolates, and small presents to kids, while elders in the family also give money as a token of love and affection. "When I think of Eid, I recall collecting candies and pocket money, (going) door-to-door, which brought me immense joy. Even though we had sweets and money from family, receiving them from others with kindness made us very happy," Goregen said.
