is that Muslim festivals are celebrated according to the Islamic calendar rather than the normal Julian calender. An Islamic year is exactly 12 lunar months - about 51 weeks.Islam also celebrates two festivals where gifts are traditionally exchanged - Eid AL Hajj and Eid Al Fitr - the latter being the first day of the month of Mukarram, the month after Ramadan and so the first day without fasting - a traditional "family" day.
