fwiw, Ramadan (law of the Holy Quran that prescribes fasting from
dawn to nightfall to atune inner/spiritual purity) is observed at
different time of the "western" calendar each year because it is
based on the muslim "lunar" calendar. so, "seasons greetings" is a
nice thought, but may not be very relevant except in terms of
coincidence.
regards,
