Inspired post: what holidays do Jews, Christians and Muslims share?
I know Passover/Easter is a common one (last supper was a Seder remember ;) ) but are they any other crossovers like this? I assume Chaunukah and Christmas don't count since they just occur at the same time, and there isn't a tie in per se...

7. Yep, I am as literal as can be
I wondered if you meant religious, but then figured that would be too hard for ME to figure out.

Actually, Halloween kind of crosses over all - a harvest celebration.

5. They don't really.
Considering Muslims go on a lunar monthly calendar.

One holiday that I definitely celebrate with my fellow Jewish and Christian Americans is the Fourth of July.

Thanksgiving also comes to mind as do other national (non-religious) holidays.
