Eid al-Fitr is a festive occasion celebrated by most Indonesian society. It's no wonder many families choose this moment for quality time together, as it's a significant opportunity to gather with relatives rarely seen. But do you know what enjoyable activities are for everyone during Eid al-Fitr? Here are six recommended activities for you to do with your extended family when you gather.
Cooking and Eating Together
The first Eid al-Fitr activity that indeed can be enjoyed by all family members is making and enjoying homemade dishes together. Food is a basic need for every human and often brings joy to family gatherings. You can choose meals all family members like or choose traditional Eid dishes such as chicken opor, ketupat, sambal goreng, and more. BBQ can also be another option for a more casual gathering atmosphere.
Praying Together
Another suitable activity to fill Eid al-Fitr moments is praying together. Some families in Indonesia still observe the tradition of asking for forgiveness (sungkem), where younger members kneel before older relatives to ask for forgiveness. After seeking forgiveness, a local religious leader or the family's eldest member usually holds a communal prayer. Prayers can be conducted in the living room or by inviting the family to pray together.
Playing with Fireworks
The next activity idea to revitalize your Eid al-Fitr moments is playing with fireworks. This activity can entertain children or teenagers in your family so they don't get bored or throw tantrums during the gathering. Although aimed at children, this game is risky because it involves fire. Therefore, it's better to have close supervision from parents or adults when children are engaged in this activity.
Mini Fashion Show
For those seeking entertainment activities to further enhance the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, try organizing a mini fashion show. Create this event for nieces, nephews, and close relatives still in elementary school. Choose themes that allow them and their parents to be creative with costumes and props to make it more festive. Some creative concepts include Indonesian and international superheroes, traditional Indonesian attire, or anything about Ramadan.
Staycation with Family
Another equally exciting idea when celebrating Eid al-Fitr is to have a staycation with your family. Since it's a staycation theme, you can choose a comfortable and luxurious accommodation. This way, you can enjoy quality time with your family. The family's favorite hotels or villas typically have facilities like swimming pools, restaurants, and spas. You can adjust based on the family's annual gathering habits. If the tradition in your family is to gather and dine together, restaurant facilities may be sufficient.
Exchanging Gifts and Greeting Cards
One tradition that never fades away in Indonesia during Eid al-Fitr is giving THR (holiday allowance) to nieces and younger individuals. Typically, relatives who have a job or are already married hand out money to school-aged children. The amount varies, ranging from Rp20,000 to hundreds of thousands, according to your ability.
To make this moment more up-to-date, you can upgrade by exchanging gifts using digital greeting cards WhatsApp Gift from PermataMobile X mobile banking. This feature involves entering the amount of money to be sent, writing a message of up to 160 characters, and selecting a greeting card design. Then, send it to the active recipient's WhatsApp number. Easy, isn't it?
