I meant, since muslims don't celebrate X-mas, do they also have a separate New Year and if so when?

To simplify the answer:Muslims celebrate Ramadhan. After 1 mth of fasting.The date changes every year.not like Christmas(25th Dec every yr)
Everyone celebrates new year, since all of us are using a standard calendar.unless u're from different planet.

The Muslim calendar is entirely lunar. Every month begins with the sighting of the new moon. But the moon is not synchronized to the sun. A lunar month is about 29 1/2 days long, and that number does not divide evenly into 365. So every Muslim year begins about 11 days early every solar year. Muharram (Muslim New Year) moves slowly backwards through the Western Calendar and so do all the other Muslim holydays.

Does what mean that the new year is celebrated at another time?
