Eid Mubarak!

Only in the Muslim world...

The Saudi clerics have - in the 11th hour! - finally seen the moon and announced that Eid is tomorrow, thus meaning that today is/was the last day of Ramadan.

To use an ecumenical expression from my own culture, hallelujah! Holy month, we barely knew ye.

But honestly though. Can you imagine not knowing what day Christmas was going to be until 8 PM the night before?

"Should we put out milk and cookies for Santa? NO NO NO, Jerry Falwell hasn't seen the Star of Bethlehem yet! Advent continues!"
