Muslims: Muslims don't consider the mythical character Jesus to be a god like christians do. It is not a national holiday in their region. Christians celebrate christmas because they are celebrating the birth of jesus christ, Messiah and part of the trinity. Muslims believe he is just a prophet so they don't really have the desire to celebrate his birth. So basically christmas is a christian celebration not a muslim celebration. Muslims don't believe Jesus was the savior like the savior in the song O Holy Night.
Muslims celebrate Ramadan, in November they only have water or juice for 14 days and on the 15th they eat food then go for another 14 days. They also don't celebrate christmas because christmas day was not the day of Jesus birth. They celebrate Eid ul- Fitr instead of christmas. That normally marks the end of the water 14 days of Ramadan and it often occurs on the 1st day of the tenth month. There are lots of celebrations in this period.

A rose by any other name
….a rose by any other name….
A rose by any other name was from the play Romeo and Juliet. This play was set in Verona Italy in the 14th century. The phrase means what matters it was something is not what it is called. It was in the play made for William Shakspeare. The play and the phrase is very famous in the theatre. The rose metaphor is said on the plays famous balcony scene. The play is a romantic comedy.
William Shakespeare wrote many quotes and he is very famous. In the play it was Juliet who said that line. That is not the full saying the full saying is: A rose by any other name would smell so sweet. Sometimes the play is one on the movie channel. People sometimes call him Shakespeare instead of his whole name. Many people still love this play because it is so romantic. I haven't seen this play yet but I want to though I would cry as my mum did when she saw it ages ago. She said it as a reference to Romeo's house.
