Iāve looked through this forum and realised there were new posts every 25th of December, which makes sense - Christmas is the big celebration around here. But I think it would be nice to add another tradition into the mix.
Ramadan is starting around now for my Muslim neighbours, so Iāve been thinking about it a bit. Itās a month where Muslims fast from dawn until sunset - not for 30 days straight, just during the daytime -and they do this for about a month. They fast to know what itās like experiencing hunger, so you appreciate what you have and reflect on gratitude and empathy. And when the sun sets, they break their fast with some incredible food, which they often share with neighbours (lucky me!)
A fun fact: some people fast for health reasons too. It can support things like weight management and reducing inflammation.
This part of Sydney is very multicultural - we had lanterns up for Chinese New Year not long ago. 
Right now some streets are decked with crescent moon decorations and fairy lights. Itās a really nice vibe. 
All these traditions make the neighbourhood and surrounding streets alive. Share some of your own traditions too - itās fun hearing how other people celebrate theirs!
