Right, I'm off on leave until January. Superb.
I'll be a tad absent, with slightly better things to do than hang out here all day.
Just thougth I'd take this opportunity to wish you a Happy <appropriate festivity>
If it's your birthday, your spiritual leader's birthday, your anniversary... whatever.
have a good one, see you in the new year- I'm off surfing.

Since Noke had said it, I guess I should wish the Christians a Merry Xmas. (though I don't seem to remember anyone wishing me during my festive season.  )
May the new year make us a lil bit more mature, and wiser, but never older.

just got to convince people reduce any religious implication to a mere shell of what it's supposed to be, and replace it with rampant consumerism.
So, perhaps Sha'aban could be treated as an excuse for every to go to the local water park, canoeing holdiay or some such.
(no intent of insult here, incidently- just trying to explain the prevalance of one culture's (2nd?) most signifcant religious festival. For that matter, Easter has pretty much gone down the same path, but I don't think it's as widespread.)

None taken, since the name of the month originated before Islam reached the Arabs, and that is more of a cultural thing, rather than a religious one.
