Worlds collide

Here is something that I'll bet nobody else has noticed: today, September 21st, is both the first day of Eid al-Fitr and -- get ready -- Belizean Independence Day! The date for Eid shifts with the cycles of the moon, coming a bit earlier each year, so this will not happen again any time soon. It's double the holidays!! Although, I'm not quite sure how the two celebrations would be combined. A hearty dinner of rice and dal with punta music playing in the background, perhaps??
