I would vote for blessed/holy/peaceful. But then at the end of the month it's Eid Mubarak!

Ramadan is an interesting spiritual exercise. It is surprisingly difficult (even when you're not in the Middle East and it's summer time and it's 100F in the [virtual] shade) It's an interesting contrast between feast and famine, between discipline and indulgence. There are lots of traditions associated with it.

But on the topic of "happy holidays" I wish all of you the best of whatever you have been/are celebrating and a safe, happy and prosperous 1999.
