The days of eid have been singled out in the hadith as the days of remembrance.
Eid celebrations includes firstly offering salat, gathering of family and friends, meals especially lunches and late breakfast (brunches), wearing new cloths, gift giving, giving gifts/money as a token of love.
There is also sacrifices of usually, sheep, cow, buffalo or camel.
Donating one third of the sacrifice meat to family, friends and neighbours also to the poor and needy.

Eid celebrations in arewa is the best. It's always the best time for family to come together and celebrate with one accord. Every one gets so busy putting together what to wear, some henna designing going on here and there the spirit of eid is so amazing in the north.
As a child we all get so excited everytime Eid festivals approaches. It is one of the best memories I have of my childhood.
I say Eid mubarak to all the Muslims out there.
