Eid is one of two holidays muslims observe every year. One Eid is observed after Ramadan, the other is during Dhul Qadah, one of the Islamic months, in the Islamic calender. People do get presents on Eid, usually money.

As you know, there are always issues with the observance of Eid, etc. You will probably find that some communities accept the date established by a particular organization, and some accept the date observed in by those who are in Makkah for Hajj.
Even though they follow a different school of thought, I simply go along with the date my community accepts, as a matter of unity. Have a good time.
*Note: Eid al-Adha occurs on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah (Dhul-Hijjah is the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, which follows Dhul-Qadah and precedes Muharram)

It depends on whether you want to trust an almanac or you insist on a traditional moon sighting. Some Muslims abide by the tradition of direct observation, which runs the risk of upsetting family plans due to delayed observances. Others say a mathematical formula is not an insult to Allah and relieves the hassle of uncertainty. (And sometimes it's a matter of time zones.) The only thing you can do is is decide as a community how to make the determination.
A happy and peaceful Eid to you!

I have heard it's Sunday Dec. 31 in California, but this area is embarassing in terms of unity and a sense of ummah. Last year a masjid in Oakland celebrated it on a different day than the hajjis in Makkah, and a different day than the folks across the Bay in San Francisco. It's sad how even 1 of our 2 Islamic holidays is marred by politics these days.

Here in Egypt it is Saturday as we go with Saudi, but we are 8 hours ahead of the US so that could be why you celebrate it on the 31st.
Eid Mubarak to you and your family. May Allah make it a blessed one. Ameen

Trust those two sites, if they say Eid is on the 30th it is, if they says 31st it is.....
By my calculations it's going to be on the Sunday 31st December 2007.
