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.
