Goddlefrood:
Living as I do in a country with a significant Muslim minority,
and having been here for a good number of years now; also having
worked for a Muslim boss at one time, I have to disagree that
Ramadan could include 25th December, that is until around the
year 2040 or so by the Gregorian calendar. It is movable and
moves back by around 10 or 11 days each solar year.
Basically, Ramadan includes 25th December for about three years
in every forty, hardly common. Besides that, the celebration
occurs when Ramadan ends, and what a celebration it can be.
