The coolest thing in EID "jazhnana"

"Jazhntan piroz" and "happy EID” to all of my positive readers ....
As it is jazhn, i was thinking about things that i am grateful for during jazhn and i found many blessings and uncounted things that i and you can be grateful for.
 jazhn's atmosphere is different and very special. people and neighbors visit each other and celebrate this awesome day and i am sure you do the same.

Since Kurdistan is part of Middle East you can easily imagine the atmosphere here. Most of the families wake up early in the first morning of “Jazhn”, and Men go to mosque to pray the jazhn prayer and congratulate each other by saying jazntan piroz and giving three kisses on one chick, (it's like part of the culture). But for women it's different, it is four kisses, two on each chick.
Then it's time to have breakfast at home, and one of the special things about jazhn is the breakfast because you won't have tea, some cheese with bread. No actually it is different and i call it supper special... in this special morning most of the families prepare white rice, beans, apricot soup and chicken or red meat... 
If nothing gave a special feeling of jazhn's spirit, the breakfast will definitely give you that feeling. 

You know everyone have their own special things to do and their own favorite things in jazhn, so for me everything about jazhn is so amazing but there are two awesome things that i always wait for them in jazhn,,,,
My first favorite thing in jazhn is hearing "Allah Akbar"
Every jazhn i wake up on this sound, when the khatib of the mosque is repeating the "Allah Akbar" which it means "God is the greatest" three times, i feel peaceful and grateful that am alive. When i open my eyes hearing this and i simply give a smile to this world.
My second favorite thing in jazhn which is the most awesome thing everrrrrrrr is “Jazhnana” or “3idya".
i am now 21 years old, and i am no more a little girl, but till this day i enjoy getting my jazhnana with a big smile on my face and a heart full of excitement, sometimes i feel i am still that little eight years old girl and my heart will come out of my chest when my father or my uncles call my name out to give me jazhnana. 
I know some of you might see it a little bit childish since am not a little girl anymore but i can't handle the overwhelming feelings of excitement in me. Maybe this is jazhn's effect on me, taking me back to the old times and waking up the spirit of that little girl in me.
I am grateful for these little things that put a huge smile on my face and make my soul fill with happiness.
You too start counting your blessings and be grateful that you are able wake up this morning among your beloved family members ....
