6th-11th - Hajj Days (8-13 Dhul-Hijjah 1429 H.)
7th - Day of Arafat (9th Dhul-Hijjah 1429 H.)
8th - Eid al-Adha (10th Dhul-Hijjah 1429 H.)
29th - Islamic New Year (1 Muharram 1430 H.)
The Astronomical New Moon is on Thursday, November 27, 2008 at 16:55 Universal Time (i.e., 11:55 am EST, and 8:55 am PST ). This crescent moon is impossible to be seen anywhere in the world on November 27. On November 28, 2008, it is sightable in Australia, Part of Southern Africa, and South & Central Americas. In North America, on November 28, chances of visibility are very slim with naked eye (e.g., in San Diego, CA at sunset, the moon is only 3 degrees above horizon, and is setting 38 minutes after sunset). So if it is seen on November 28, Eid-ul-Adha in North America will be December 8 (Monday).
For North America, ISNA has decided to go with Saudi's announcement on Hajj such that the next day will be Eid-al-Adha, which is expected to be on December 8 (Monday), unless Saudi announced Hajj on December 6, and then Eid-al-Adha will be on December 7 (Sunday).
In UK, according to a Fatawa from Deoband, India, Eid-al-Adha is expected to be on December 8 (Monday), but most places in UK follow the Saudi announcement. According to sighting, in Australia, and IndoPak subcontinent, Eid-al-Adha is expected to be on December 9 (Tuesday), Insha-Allah.

:salam2:
Sister...Inshallah they will begin on the 29th of November...
Just make sure you fast for *9 days*...because you cannot fast on a Eid day..it is haram...
and make sure that you concentrate most of your worship during the day because unlike Ramadhan..in this period it is the *day* time where worship is strongly encouraged..and make a lot of dua'a as well especially on *the day of Arafa*...
May Allah give you, me, and all of our brothers and sisters the chance to fast these days and earn their ajer to the fullest..inshallah..
