Eid cards

Where I can buy Eid cards, any ideas what's the best message to send to muslim neighbour?

have a look at

or

That's just the first result of a quick Google - there's loads more. Probably a bit late to get anything through the post: do you live in a neighbourhood with a lot of Muslims? You may find your corner shop has some appropriate cards.

There are two Eids: one which celebrates the end of Ramadan, Eid al Fitr, and the other one which commemorates the time that God told Abraham to sacrifice his son, and when he wasn't tempted by offers from the devil but stayed true to God, changed the demand to a ram at the last minute. That's Eid al Adha, and it starts tomorrow.

eid ul adha

I think that might be now since I saw a clip of what I presume was Hajj on the news the other day?

'Eid Mubarak' is roughly translated to 'Happy Christmas' if that's any help

dont want to undermine your post, but this is very misleading!!!!!
although both are celebrations in their own right.
calling eid - christmas is totally wrong.
as in christmas is when christians beleive christ was born
eid ul fitr - celebrates end of fasting - ramadan
eid ul adhza - in remembrance of prophet abraham sacrificing his son to please God/Allah, also a pilgrimage that the prophet mohammed (pbuh) in his lifetime.
