I always found it amazing how Eid-ul-Azha has a way of bringing the entire family together no matter what. It would always be exciting when the goat showed up. We kids would always end up attached to the goat. Heck, even now if I pet the goat once, I get too attached and cry the next day when it shows up on my table from the garage. From going to the haat with my dad to buy the animal to when my mother cooks it, it’s an experience you can’t get anywhere else. Especially the sense of community throughout the country. It’s a wholesome day.
