Christmas is the most populat in the US, followed by Halloween and Thanksgiving I believe. The holiday season from Thanksgiving Day until New Years Eve is when all the parties and festiviites are planned. This year it went too fast though!

It is Diwali and it is somewhere in November. It is called the festival of lights. People celebrate it by lighting lamps and exchanging sweets.

Eid is our popular holiday. We celebrate 2 eid in each year one is Eid-ul-Fitre after one month fasting when we donate $0.50 comulsorily per head of our family member and donate Zakat (2.50% value of our total wealth)to very poor people. Another Eid is Eid-ul-Azha (Qurbani or sacrifice) when we buy at least one healthy goat, Ship or Cow, Bull or camel as per financial strength. Who have less money 5 or 7 person make a group and buy one large bull and sacrifies two third of its whole meat to relatives and poorest people. Rest part we keep for our own. In total 6 days holiday we enjoy for these 2 eid.
