Well, as the matter of fact, that's the way I celebrate it, except that I'm not a smoker. If anyone decides to play God for me, I remind them that they are not God, and they should mind their own business.

Mind you Ramadan is not a holiday, it's name of an Arabian month, and taking fast is not technically a celebration, but a duty on Muslims not to do certain things from dawn to dusk for a whole month. And they also take first day of the following month off for festivities, which must include eating. I've been told so by oldies and not God himself directly, so I don't know. Do whatever you want with it, claim you celebrated Ramadan, whatever. I don't own it, nor you'd be celebrating it for my sake or any other Muslim, nor do I get to analyze the way you carried out what God has expected from you, which is your personal business.
