You can create a special place for the animal to stay. You can decorate the area with lights, place some couches for you and your friends to sit on so that you can look after your animal with ease. You can stalk up cow food so that your animal does not stay hungry.
Enjoy with your friends and family

Buy gifts for your loved ones

It is about the soul intention of the person in Infront of Allah. To remind this to yourself you can discuss the event of Hazrat Ibrahim (As) due to which Eid ul Adha is celebrated. You can gather around the elders of your family like your grandmother or grandfather and can listen to the whole incident.
