Answer 2

Well, I take the point that Eid is the actual celebration that follows the fasting of Ramadan and so if there's a holiday (which actually is a corruption of holy day) section with festivals like Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa et al, that Eid should be included, regardless of which month it falls in. I disagree that Eid should be represented as a subsection though and suggest that Eid should replace Ramadan in the list. Ramadan, like Lent, is a period of fasting, self-denial, contemplation and prayer - not really a holiday or festival. It's the celebration at the end of Ramadan which should be included as a holiday in the same terms as the others.
What do you think?

Answer 3

Does that come under the category of Ramadan as it falls at the end of that month, or am I being totally dim?

Answer 4

is that a holiday? probably because when folks in the U.S. say they know about other holidays at Christmas-time, they actually mean Hannakuh and Kwaanza, and that's it. anyhow, it would be slightly unrealistic to expect every holiday on the planet to be acknowledged at a store in the U.S.

Answer 5

good question. well this year, eid doesn't coincide with the others, does it? but that's still a good question
