i am Muslim and grew up here in US i did feel bad on holidays like EID where i had to goto school and miss out on the whole festival and greetings, but i kno this much that exceptions were made if parents came and talk to principal. (religion.blogs.cnn.com)
I am writing this late at night and don't feel I have the distance or mental stamina to go through the whole festival yet. (spiceandsprout.com)
Christmas Eve is the biggest day of the whole festival in Sweden. (carrotsandspice.com)
