@Beyond2: Good on you for being so thoughtful about it. I grew up in a multicultural extended family with both Muslim and Christian members. we celebrated both Christmas and Eid and always gave presents for both.

I think it is okay to give him a present while finding a way to acknowledge that this is your opprotunity to celebrate him and his entry into your family in spite of religious differences. That said, it is probably best to ask your sister for her opinion on the issue as she will know best whether he is likely to be sensitive about it or not.

@Beyond2: agree with the PPs, it depends on the guy and how religious he is. I've known many Muslims who will do Christmas exchanges w friends, but they also unabashedly date around ( and don't call it "courting", at least until they want to settle down which is a whole other subject.

So, the fact that they are using terms like courting and she's already thinking about converting and is learning Arabic when they haven't known each other that long leads me to believe he may be a little more on the fundamentalist side.

Edited because: not really any of my business!
