Re: India and American holidays December 2009 Calendar
It's wrong that you mention the date of Al-Hijrah of Muslims. The day of Arafa and Eid ul Adh-ha are the most important days for Muslim during the month of December,'09. Eid ul Adh-ha is one of the two religion celebrations of Muslim community. This year Eid ul Adh-ha is coming on 27th December, '09. Eid ul Adh-ha calibration related to Hajj pilgrimage in Makkah. And as I said the day of Arafa is just previous day of Eid ul Adh-ha. Furthermore that two of other Islamic celebration is Eid ul Fitr which is celebrating end of Ramadan (30 days fasting). To clear any doubt feel free mail me to: usamuba@yahoo.com Thanks..

Re: India and American holidays December 2009 Calendar
I really like your interfaith calendar. To correct the first comment above (Usam), Eid ul Adh-ha was on November 27th this year (2009), not December. And my understanding is that the most commonly accepted English spelling for the Jewish holiday is "Hanukkah" -- although there are of course several variations in use.
