Revert Xmas Struggles.

Salam alaikum, I am a revert of one year originally Christian and come from a Christian family.

As the Christmas holidays are coming up, Does anyone really struggle and almost homesick of the holiday traditions? Not the religious side of Christmas I mean the family time, festive activities with friends, decorating the house and putting up the Christmas tree .

I am feeling really bad and guilty to Allah SWT about these feelings. I try and talk to my partner who doesn’t understand my struggles but encourages me to stray away from these feelings to improve my deen.

How do you all help navigate these feelings and help you through this festive period ?

Thank you & May Allah SWT bless you all. 🌸
