I wish all my buddies and WHT members a very happy EID......
For all those Muslims out there, and if you don’t celebrate it you don’t know what your missing, so just enjoy life...
God Bless, take-care and have a great time.

please correct me (I'm not of Islam)
eid is actually Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of Sacrifice).
It's symbolic of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son to God and then God provided a goat instead.

Eid actually means similar to a day of celebration. Muslims only celebrate 2 days in a year. 1 day is what skelley reffered to, thats after Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) which is about 2 months from today. and today was Eid Ul Fitr the Eid after the Month of Ramadhan in which Muslims fast for 1 full month (no eating/drinking/ in the day). Since Muslims dont celebrate any other day, no new year, no birthdays no nothing (atleast we are not supposed to but some muslims do all that out of 'culture') , i always make sure i celebrate these 2 days the best i can :)

Eid mubarak to all of you!
Eid is an Arabic word that means feast in English, but actually, I think the correct word is anniversary. The word 'Eid' in Arabic is from 'ya3ood' which is 'comes back' . So, Eid means, the day that comes back repeatedly, every week, every month, every year and so on. In this case, it comes back every year.
So, Happy Eid to all of you again!
