Since Islamic calender is different from gregorian calender, sometimes islamic holidays fall around the same time as christmas. Islamic calender goes by the moon and falls back i think 11 days back or forth (i'm not completely sure which). Like this year, our 2nd festival, Eid-ul-Adha (Eid of Sacrifice) is falling around at the end of december or either 1st or 2nd of january.
hope that helped!

Eid ul-Adha
For now, this holiday come about the same time as Christmas.
The Islamic calendar is a lunar one and the dates for all holidays advance by 11 days every year. so in ten years that holiday will be celebrated in the summer unfortunately.

This 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, Eid Al-Adha, between the main mandatory holy days in the Muslim calendar, would be celebrated on December thirtieth/thirty first based which usa you reside in, and could final for 3 days. It celebrates the tip of the in line with annum pilgrimage to Mecca, and ever 3 hundred and sixty 5 days the date variations because of the fact it happens 70 days after Ramadan, which relies upon on the sighting of a sparkling moon to start (the Muslim calendar is lunar). for the time of Eid, Muslims sacrifice a lamb or sheep, in remembrance of Abraham, who became prepared to sacrifice his son to God (God despatched down a sheep rather on the final minute). that is important to no longer waste any area of the sheep, however the main mandatory concern is to supply a minimum of a 0.33 of the beef away to the very detrimental (yet another 0.33 is given to acquaintances and neighbours, and yet another 0.33 stored for your self), and to make helpful that no Muslim on your community is hungry or impoverished. Many Muslims in the West do no longer sacrifice an animal, rather they'll pray and make charitable donations. additionally, there are enjoyable celebrations :) in case you meet a Muslim on Eid, you could say 'Eid Mubarak' to them, to desire them a chuffed Eid.
