Before I retired I worked in an office in a multi-cultural area. One year Ramadan fell almost exactly on top of Christmas and Hanukkah which was always a season of tons of food being brought into the office. I really felt for our Muslim co-workers surrounded by bowls and bags and platters of food everywhere while they were observing a lengthy fast. Even though part of it was probably outside of dietary rules it must have been annoying.
My first Eid in a Muslim country was in Islamabad, when I was woken up at moon rise by the sound of an AK-47 on full automatic. As soon as I figured out it was east of me I got out from under the bed. At least I knew which direction it was pointed, unlike sometimes in Texas on New Years.

I’m sure your hubby was staring at you like that, when you met.

As long as you don’t play coy and hide behind clouds the next night.

We have a new moon now, which you can’t see, I think, but I imagine that isn’t the important part.

Earthly gaze not good enough for you?

May someone look at you as longingly as Muslims look at the crescent moon on the last day of Ramadan!

My Father-in-law loved when Ramadan fell in the winter months… shorter time of fasting. He said mid-summer was the hardest.
