Each state has certain ceremonies, specific rituals, customs
and cultures. One of these celebrations in
Qatar is called al-garangoo. This celebration is traditional and it happens
every year in the middle of Ramadan specifically in the day of fourteenth.
This celebration is made for
children. Families wait this day to celebrate with their kids to enter the happiness into their souls. In this day, a lot of families and shops prepare
to celebrate with kids and they do a lot of things such as; the parents buy new
and traditional clothes for their kids to wear it in al-garangoo day. In
addition, Confectionary makes gifts and different collections to sell it for
fathers who give it for the kids. Children starts celebrating after the Sunset
when they have finished eating al-fotoor (Breakfast), then the kids start gathering near the
homes of neighbors, their friends and family carry on
their necks bags to package the sweets and nuts inside it to collect the gifts,
they wear new and traditional cloths. I
like them when they sing special songs for al-garangoo when they take
al-garangoo from the people. After they finished collecting a lot of nuts and
sweet they return to their homes. Moreover, malls do not forget the kids in
this day as some malls specialty
some places to celebrate in different ways
such as; bring cartoon models, put games and do competitions
among children, painting on their faces and distributing gifts to
them in the end.
