Have a Good… err… 2006.10/26 Day Without Work?

I heard that today is a holiday due to “Ramadan”, so I was looking for the official declaration so I won’t get things wrong and inadvertently offend some people. Unfortunately, I’m confused. From what I gather, Ramadan ended last Sunday in the Philippines, and today is Eid’l Fitr (Feast of Charity). I’ll just refer to that Inq7.net article for whatever the official reasons for today is.

Regardless if you’re Muslim or not, I hope today goes well.

As a side note, “Ramadan” keeps reminding me of the very first Sandman (by Neil Gaiman) comic I read. I think I was in high school, and the issue was Sandman #50, the story entitled Ramadan (reprinted in “The Sandman: Fables and Reflections“. A great story, though I wouldn’t be reading Sandman until I started working.
