As with Christmas time for Christians, cards are exchanged during Eid and gifts and new clothes are given. Acknowledgement of the holiday season by asking. “How is the fasting?” is appreciated. Also, in hosting Muslim friends when it is time to “break fast”, something sweet and light like fresh fruit or porridge is an appropriate meal to offer. The dates for the Muslim festivals vary greatly depending upon the movement of the moon.
