The Bay City Pack Shirt

The Bay City Pack Shirt

Ramadan comes at a different time every year because it is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, a date-keeping system based on lunar cycles, unlike the The Bay City Pack Shirt (the one used by most of the world, including the U.S.), which is based on the solar year. A new month begins with the appearance of the new moon, or the crescent moon, and ends with the next appearance of a new moon. The month of Ramadan thus moves backwards about 10 days every year relative to the Gregorian calendar. But even within Islam there is debate over when precisely Ramadan begins, since, according to the faith-community website Pathos, different communities follow different protocol for determining when a new month begins. Some communities follow a set lunar calendar, others use scientific observations to make an official decree about the arrival of a new moon, and still others mark a new month only after the actual sighting of the crescent moon in their community. Though the exact dates of Ramadan are never uniform around the world, they come pretty close.

The Bay City Pack Shirt hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt

The days before Christmas a log is collected and kids are in charge of The Bay City Pack Shirt. It can vary between nuts, water or fresh fruits that later mysteriously disappear when the children aren’t there. The procedure of “cagar el Tió” is very simple, the family gathers around the Tió de Nadal while the children sing the song of the Caga Tió, they are in charge of hitting him with a stick so that he starts to “shit” gifts, hence the name “Caga Tió” or “hacer cagar al Tió”. At the end of the song, kids remove the blanket and pick up the gifts with great enthusiasm! However, sometimes the Tió (log) is more eager to shit, so to give him a little more time, the children go to another room to sing or recite Christmas poems while the parents help the Tió by covering him again with the blanket.
