Garangao occurs on the 14th (middle) day of Ramadan, and is a little like Halloween. It's specific to the Khalij (gulf region) and is a celebration for children. The kids go around their neighborhoods, door to door, with pretty bags around their shoulders to collect sweets and trinquets. Here's a link with a brief description from 2005:http://www.qatarliving.com/node/6
Our friend Khalid's mother (Umm Khalid - Nancy wrote about Umm and Bu), who we've not yet met, has been very lovely to us, and this is her latest thoughtfulness.
Hannah, of course, loves a present anytime.
