December 25 is the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton.

Also: Merry Christmas
Happy Chanukah
Joyous Kwanza
Superb Saturnalia
Delightful Diwali

Couldn't find an Islamic festival celebrating the return of the sun.
Any info out there?

And a happy, healthy and prosperous New Yeat to all!

The Islamic calendar is entirely lunar in nature, so the holy days change
through the solar year.

C'mon Chuckie, that's what the whole thing is about!
All traditions make lights to beg the sun to return, when it hits its
low point at -- you guessed it! -- the Winter Solstice.
