Here’s the ultimate cheat code: it’s always better to say it than not. Even if you’re a week late, even if you whisper it awkwardly.
Imagine you run into a Muslim coworker on the street a week after Eid. You panic. Just say, “Hey, I didn’t get a chance to say it earlier—Eid Mubarak!” They’ll probably grin. You’ve shown you care, and that’s the whole point.
So stop overthinking. Grab your coffee, text your friend, and just say it. You’ve got 72 hours of peak window, and a lifetime of “better late than never” backup. Go be festive, you magnificent human.
