Well Eid is an islamic holiday ..
In Islam, they're are 2 Eids,
1- Eid al Fitr
2- Eid al Adha
the word " al fitr" means " breaking the fast" .. so when ramadan ends, muslims celebrate this occasion .. they wake up early in morning , attend special prayer for this occasion 'salat el eid' .. after that, they visit friends and relatives .. it's an occasion that gathers them all .. u can see relatives u havent seen in awhile .. it renew friendship and family ties ..
The 2nd Eid is Eid al Adha ..this eid marks the end of the Pilgrimage "Hajj " for the millions of Muslims who make the trip to Mecca each year .
you can read more about these festivals here:

have a nice day
:)

Eid Al-Fitr is a holiday celebrated by Muslims because it is the end of the holy month, Ramadan. Eid ul-Adha is a holiday where many Muslims can do hajj, which is a pilgrimage to the Mecca. We celebrate the fact that Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) sacrificed his son for the sake of Allah.

Eid is a holiday after Ramadan and it is three days long. I gave presents to my Christian friends and they were thankful!
To a Muslim it is hard to sleep on the night before Eid. I had a hard time sleeping too.
