Salam,
I converted to Islam 2 years ago and I have a question about celebrating family holidays with my Christian family. I have been through one Christmas and 2 Easters since my conversion. Last year during Christmas, I didn't do anything with my family, but had dinner Christmas eve with my family, just dinner, not celebration. All my family gave me presents and I bought presents for my 6 year old brother. I completly skipped Easter and my family was fine with that, but they are pushing me to come Christmas eve again this year. Is it Haram to go, even it it is not celebrating to me, just spending a dinner with my family? My husband refuses to go to their house for Christmas, but it is very rare my whole family gets together and I only would get to see some of my family members who live far away during the Christmas holidays. What is the right thing to do?
Ma Salam,
Isra
