The House of Christmas is fundraising this Christmas for its “Sallet el Eid” project, that aims to fill 600 baskets with Christmas goodies (cookies, Christmas decorated chocolate, buches, marzipan, kamareldine, mlabbas, nuts etc) and distribute them to families in need all over Lebanon.

“Sallet el Eid” is a concept that was born and driven by three main lines: the urge of bringing bits of joy and love to the vulnerable families; the covid-19 safety restrictions these holidays; and finally the love and respect we have towards our lebanese traditions. Indeed the «salleh » is one of the oldest and most authentic Beiruti traditions, where the citizens throw their salleh from their balcony to the kaak or mankoushe seller on the street, creating a magnificent human exchange.

People will be able to gather on their balconies for an emotional and festive community moment, while keeping all safety distances.
