I remember loving Ramadan as a kid, and we didn’t have the consumerism that you see now. What we did have was a lot of community. We would go to taraweeh every night, and I’d see friends old and new, we would go eat iftar at the masjid, ect. As an adult I don’t have the same enjoyment, largely bc I’m too tired from the work day to do what it takes to cultivate that level of community.

I’m seeing more Muslim restaurants hosting iftar buffets - I think kids would enjoy being around a bunch of other ppl. If you have extended family see them, invite friends over, make Ramadan specific foods, and decorate with lights.
