We Christians do things in reverse, we do Christmas, It's the Opposite to Ramadan where we have to eat and drink and eat and drink constantly and excessively for the full 12 days of Christmas, then for good measure we have to indulge our ancient Pagan side as well at Hogmanay (Newyears eve) where we have to double up on the eating and drinking and really crank up the excess of food and Drink.
After the 12 Days we offer thanks to "Andrews" the God of Liver salts for allowing our survival and we also offer prayers to a lesser god "Rennie" who eases the Burning in hell pain that Christmas dictates we must endure.
After all that if the Devil does not get you the Calories will.
So, there you are, a quick insight into how Christianity works..........at least at Christmas.
Actually we Christians have our own version of ramadan. It is called lent. It runs for 6 weeks. Most Christians don't observe lent in full any more and some of us choose to just give up something like chocolate as a token gesture. We celebrate the end of lent on Easter Sunday.
Why bother giving something up out of religious tokenism and then just for a short time, Enjoy the food when you can because your a long time dead.
