Four years of having to celebrate hari raya oversea, I don't feel the excitement already. Not getting duit raya from families makes my raya so less interesting. Yes, I know hari raya is not about how much duit raya you get. It's about our success; a month of fasting in Ramadhan, with 8 holes (for me).
On hari raya, we're not supposed to tear; but with joy, we celebrate the moments gathering with other family members we seldom get to see. And of course, remembering those you had long gone, meeting their creator.
Happy Eid Mubarak to beloved family in Malaysia and friends, especially those who live in Rochester area.
Salam.
