Eid just means 'festival'. The biggest one of the year is Eid-al-Fitr and most of the time when people talk about Eid that's the one they mean, but there is Eid-al-Adha probably on the 8th of December (the exact date depends on the visibility of the moon). I have colleagues who were talking about Eid coming up the other day, meaning Eid-al-Adha. It's a bit confusing.

Now, I don't know if celebrating Eid-al-Adha but not Eid-al-Fitr makes that much sense. But then it's probably about as logical as celebrating Hannukah but not Passover or Yom Kippur.
