The Zayid Family

• Town: Tinley Park
• Submission explanation: "This year I wanted to decorate the outside to represent Ramadan and being a Muslim. I always decorated with lights outdoor, but this year I have purchased an inflatable Masjid that sits in front of my yard. It’s light up and everything! My family and I absolutely love it! My daughters are so excited because all their friends get to see what their house looks like during Ramadan, just how they get to see what their houses looks like on Christmas!

The Elabed Family

• Town: Frankfort
• Submission comments: "It all started when I was just a kid. I enjoyed lights and decor on other holidays, so I always wished we had some stuff like that. Now I have kids and I want them to feel the joy of Ramadan and how beautiful the month of Ramadan is. My wife, mother and I started looking all kinds of cool stuff they got out now to celebrate our holiday, so we started ordering a lot of stuff for the outside and inside, as you can see in the video! I want to keep this going and want my decor to get bigger and bigger every year, so when Ramadan comes people will want to come stop by and look at all the decor."

The Allabadi Family

• Town: Tinley Park
• Submission comments: "Beautiful Ramadan decor filled with colored lights and two crescent Ramadan trees. When you see these decorations it’ll really get you in the Ramadan spirit."

Dina Muhamed

• Town: Chicago Ridge
• Submission comments: Indoor and outdoor.

The AlRafati Family

• Town: Orland Hills
• Submission comments: "This is what I like to call joy. I want my kids to know about their holiday and feel it as well. Every year I try to get decor from different places and display them to excite the kids and have them look forward to our Muslim holiday. Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate."
