    The Winter Festivals 2006

    Hi Martin

    This is a great idea. Unfortunately you got the Eid names the wrong way around in your list. Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on 22/23 Oct (After the Fasting) and Eid-ul-Adha will be celebrated end of Dec/Jan. (Allah/God-willing)

    Another thing to note is that probably in the next year or two, Eid-ul-Fitr will fall in summer as it is based in the lunar calendar. (Just a note for your future lists) :)

    Martin, you need to change "seek" to "Sikh" in the Diwali description. :)

    Well spotted, Martin often uses a voice recognition thingy because of RSI and it does come up with some funny spellings :)
