In Egypt, the Christmas holiday is known as "Eid al-Adha". It is a Muslim festival that commemorates the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God. During this time, families gather together to exchange gifts and share a meal, and children receive money from their parents as a way of celebrating the holiday. It is a time of joy and thanksgiving, and a reminder of the importance of faith and devotion in Islam.
