It means " may you have a generous , blessed Ramadan" , which is the month were Muslim people fast.

It was ordered by God in the Quran:

"The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful." ~Quran, 2:185

Ramadan is a month long. It ends when 30 days have ended.

it starts today the 1st of September according to the moon. ---- = When is Ramadan in 2008? = Ramadan in 2008 will start on Monday, the 1st of September and will continue for 30 days until Tuesday, the 30th of September. Based on sightability in North America, in 2008 Ramadan will start in North America a day later - on Tuesday, the 2nd of September. Note that in the Muslim calendar, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Sunday, the 31st of August.

It is done by heart that means you intend to fast the days of Ramadan. Getting your late meal (Souhour in Arabic) is also by itself niyat to fasting.

I think you should focus on pleasing Allah but you can put up some decoration like lights, balloons, stars, and moons.

The first day of Ramadan is always one of the best. It's also the busiest in many families. The women run around the house cleaning and cooking a huge meal. Everyone in the morning prays, and reads Quran. All the Islamic schools have that month off along with the Eid of course. So the families dedicate their time in reading the Quran, praying to Allah, and repenting. At dusk, when everyone breaks their fast, there is a feast for many families. The rest of the days you go back to usual small eating. Btw, when you break your fast you're eating breakfast. There's no dinner or lunch.

Well some Scholars from India and Pakistan suggest you don't cut your hairs and nails during the Fast time in Ramadan, obviously with their own little logic which is not proven from Qur'an and the Saheeh Hadith. Plz check the link below on 30 common mistakes during ramadan with correction.

Ramaḍān is a Muslim religious observance that takes place during the ninth month (the Islamic month of fasting) of the Islamic calendar; the month in which the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Participating Muslims do not eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset in an effort to learn patience, sacrifice and humility. During Ramaḍān Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and aid in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint, good deeds and prayer. Eating, drinking, sexual intercourse, ignorant and indecent speech, arguing and fighting, lustful thoughts, obscene or irreligious sights and sounds during fasting hours are forbidden. Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to atone for personal faults and misdeeds.

Fasting is the most prominent event of the month of Ramaḍān. Every day Muslims around the world get up before dawn to eat Suhoor, the predawn meal, and perform the fajr prayer. They stop eating and drinking before the call for prayer starts until the fourth prayer of the day, Maghrib. Muslims may continue to eat and drink after the sun has set until the next morning's fajr prayer call when the process repeats.

Childhood fasting is not considered compulsory many children endeavor to complete as many fasts as possible in practice for later life. The elderly and chronically ill are exempt from fasting providing that they endeavor to feed one poor person each day. Not fasting is only permitted when the act is potentially dangerous to one's health such as in the case of the elderly, the insane, the sick, and pregnant, menstruating, or nursing women. Twelve Shi'a Muslims define those who travel more than 14 miles in a day as exempt from fasting. Any fasts broken or missed due to sickness or traveling must be made up whenever the person is able before the next month of Ramaḍān.

Muslim's fast on Monday and Thursday because it is a sunnah of their prophet, Muhammad. Fasting on Monday and Thursday is an option so you don't have to fast on these days as well as Ashooraa (celebration for prophet Moses), and the 10 days of thul-hijja( also a sunnah).

All Muslim-majority countries have schedule alterations so that their citizenry can observe the Ramadan fasts.
