My Favourite Day - Eid al Fitr

 

Eid al-fitr is an Islamic festival. It takes place at the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting when people don't eat and drink during the day.

Listen to a girl from Egypt tell us about Eid al-fitr in her country, and why it's her favourite festival. You can also light some firecrackers!

I'm not a muslim, I didn't know what Eid Al-Fitr was. 
My favourite day is Christmas day. On that day, we have delicious dinner. We receive presents, we song Christmas carols. My house is decorated with  lights and a Christmas tree. And everyone wear their best clothes.
