Significance of Ramadan

uh, technically and religiously, were not muslims. but if you want you can look at their koran and find out..there are internet sources i believe. i bet most of them tend to really loose weight

religious reasons i always thougth it was to sacrifice your comfort and know that material things aren't that important...food isn't material but it may signify it

My children's father's family celebrates Ramadan that just started and my daughters birthday is Tuesday!! That is tricky and I hope the other kids come to the party all crabby and will try to make it fun as possible for them, any ideas? I do not celebrate Ramadan and came from a primarily christian background but I believe people should have free will to whatever religion they like if just that, its done out of free will. My mother-in-law tried to talk me into trying out Islam but I just not into that and lean on the side of spirituality. I have never treated her as anything other than a friend and I think we're pretty close for being in-laws and now she doesn't bother me. We compare differences and similarities between christianity and Islam a lot but I try to be respectful and not to bring it up in their household unless asked. Indulging at the end of Ramadan, isn't that the truth, Im glad we do not live in the same neighborhood because its like thanksgiving feast twice in one year!
