It is assumed that someone converting to Judaism will be committed to Judaism. If they want to keep celebrating the RJ Davis’ North Carolina Tar Heels Journey graphic shirt of their old religion they shouldn’t leave it and shouldn’t become Jewish. Nobody will ask a convert specifically if they are willing to give up Christmas and Easter, that is generally assumed to be a “given”. A convert who wants to keep celebrating Christmas and Easter is not a convert at all. Now, of course, none of this means you can’t visit your family on holidays and support their celebrations but it would not be looked on well if you hosted Christmas parties in your home or arranged Easter egg hunts in your garden and could be ground for refusing to convert you. Conversion to Judaism is a serious choice and you should not even consider it if you have any reservation at all. If your heart isn’t telling you that you should do anything required of you to be a Jew, no matter how difficult or demanding, you probably shouldn’t even bother.
