If you want to go the extra mile, you can finish up your Eid decorations early and start putting them on display throughout the last 10 days of Ramadan to strengthen the anticipation.

As great as all these customary traditions are, it is important that every family create their own set of Ramadan traditions.

You can, for example, hide the Eid gifts or Eid loans you got your kids in different spots around the house and arrange a mini scavenger hunt for them to find them on Eid day.

Something else that can be down throughout the month is to make every member of the family make a note of something they are grateful for each night at Iftar, then place all the notes in a jar and keep it aside until the next Ramadan when you can bring it out and have everyone read their notes on the first night for Ramadan so that you can all enter the month filled with gratitude and joy.
