Eid al-Adha is a time to show your gratitude and share special moments with friends and family. Even when you're far from home, a little creativity can help you nurture lifelong connections and introduce others to the traditions that make you feel closer to home.

Here are a few ideas to help you celebrate Eid al-Adha from afar.

1. Dress up in your finest clothes to record a video message for loved ones.

Even if time zone differences make it hard to schedule a video call, a prerecorded, heartfelt message can help you and your family feel closer. Be sure to dress as you would if you could be with them in person. Your video greeting is sure to lift their spirits - not only for the moment, but for years to come.

2. Introduce local friends and neighbors to cherished Eid traditions.

Sharing savory dishes and sweet treats is a big part of Eid al-Adha - and it's a great way to share your culture with friends and neighbors nearby. As you're preparing your favorite items, take a little extra time to jot down the recipes to send along with each dish, and let the recipient know why it's special to you.
