if you celebrate Christmas in December-tell him to get you a gift then. if you celebrate Christmas as Eid-collect your gift. flat line, tell him you want your gift on Christmas Day and anyother day would be unacceptable.

Politely ask him why he asked you what you wanted for Eid and not Christmas, since that is the holiday you celebrate.
Do you give him a gift on Eid or on Christmas? If you give him a gift on Christmas, he might feel a little offended since he doesn't celebrate that holiday.
Perhaps, you should spend Christmas with your family and spend Eid with your boyfriend... afterall, relationships are about compromise.
**Remember** if he doesn't respect the holiday you celebrate, he doesn't respect you!

Respect his beliefs and request that he respect yours. If you celebrate Christmas give him a gift on Christmas. If he celebrates Ramadan and The Eid be happy to accept a gift from him on his holiday.

the different solutions you've received seem to cover each detrimental stereotype human beings have of Muslims. i imagine it should be a mistake to remodel basically because you have become married. the alternative to remodel and the alternative to get marred, although appropriate in some unspecified time sooner or later, might want to under no circumstances the a lot less be separate. On different words, basically convert in case you'll have performed so no matter if you under no circumstances met him. a decision to save on with any faith might want to easily be made if that faith fulfills your non secular desires. so a procedures as installation in is in touch, i'd spend time with different Muslims. a faith is made from the human beings who practice it, and talking to them is a thanks to appreciate how that faith would replace your existence. for sure you need to study the Koran and different writings on Islam and likewise study about the diverse sects of Islam. not all Muslims are the same any more beneficial than all Christians are the same. particularly, do not pay interest to the naysayers on the information superhighway, on television and on the radio. do not anticipate that the comments they make are in accordance to any actual information of Islam. i'm not a Muslim, i'm an atheist. besides the indisputable fact that my step mom and 0.5 sister are both Muslims and residing in a Muslim u . s .. I have met many Muslim women human beings over the years and that i have not started to satisfy one that's oppressed. maximum do not even positioned on burkas. that's what I recommend about keeping off stereotypes. even if you make certain, the finest of success to you.

I think that you should get him a present for El eid but you should tell him that he has to respect the holidays that you are emotionally attached to.

If he is not Christian it's logical that he doesn't celebrate it so accept his Eid gift and try giving him a gift for christmas, this way you can share both cultures.

Tell him what you want. You may also want to open a religious conversation with him. If you plan on spending the rest of your life with him it would be good to have a full understanding and respect for one another's beliefs.

tell him what you want
If he doesn't celebrate Christmas and this is a problem for you, you had better work it out now before it becomes a real sticking point later.

Well is your boyfriend muslim? Do you know his religion? Because the day doesn't matter for giftgiving, x-mas or other, the thought counts.
