Yeah, but it’s almost always more-or-less the same time.
With May, we’d overlap 80% of the time.
“You don’t see Norwegian Heritage Month”
That is because Lutefisk is an offense against G-d and man.
The whole world voted.
Sure.
But, keep in mind you are talking to a guy who grew up in Israel and also follows a lunar calendar.
Passover floats around a bit, too, compared to the Gregorian.
And, yes, the observational issues with the Islamic calendar can move stuff around a day or so.
But Ramadan will almost always float around April and (mainly) May on the Gregorian calendar.
We need a national redneck heritage month. ;)
No. When liberals started really feeling sorry for Moslems after 9/11 happened to them, Ramadan happened to be near Christmas so they tied it in as yet another “Winter” holiday we must all celebrate! Everyone does winter solstice!
But in a couple years it was in summer. Then spring. Winter, fall, etc. how stupid they feel tying it into winter fest.
Nonetheless ALL companies printing clendars must now include it. Especially school systems.
But it is all over the place. Never even close one year to the next.

Nope.
Since their months are fewer, it is marching backwards on our calendar. Not always around April. Only just for these few years. A few more and it’ll be into winter solidly again.
I do very much. But I didn’t read too much of that post before proselytizing about Irish myths....so guilty of not reading, and thus, understanding intention.
Women ARE history! Without them, there would be no human race. Somehow that’s not as important to leftards as Mary Wollstonecraft or Gloria Steinem, though. Mary, I think, died in childbirth. Gloria eats children.
You appear to be right, but I am convinced that at least some of them put on a leap month every couple of years to make up for the 29/30 day 12 months and resulting backwards crawl.
Of course, it’s been 40 years since I was forced to study it in school.
And how about those Italians? All they get is Columbus Day. Is this fair? After they invented Pizza and copied Spaghetti from the Chinese? See! How’s it feel to have your ideas ripped off, China? Spaghetti, gun powder and Marco Polo. All grabbed by one Italian. No wonder you infected Italy worst.
I do not understand them. We can only blame SNL and the Daily Show for their bad examples. Advice: Tune in to the Greg Gutfeld Show every Saturday night on FNC. Watch it and you will understand humor.
I didn’t know Columbus Day was an ode to Italians until a few years ago hearing the latest griping from Indians (yes), which I guess pitted their PCness against a MA/Boston Italian group hosting a parade.
Never heard of that connection before then. Ever.
Dontcha know, he came to the new world in order to annihilate and enslave Indians, and he did it on behalf of his father’s Italian gonads, which infected him forevermore with racism. Nothing universal or constructive in this “discovery” of the New World. He was just a forerunner of Mussolini’s fascists./s
