you're a Buddhist, and you're a Buddhist. Does this mean that you have to give up celebrating other holidays such as Christmas? Nope, you don't. Feel free to celebrate any religious holiday that you like. You'll still be a Buddhist if you want to be. There are no special ceremonies and no Church on Sunday. It's that simple.

Personally, I like Buddhism the best out of the five main religions. I prefer it mainly because Buddhism has yet to cause any war (to my knowledge). The main reason why Buddhists avoid war is because they don't try to convert other people to their religion or way of life.

Buddhists generally don't judge other people, and they don't discriminate against other religions. It is a very peaceful religion. Some individuals may argue that Buddhism is not a religion but more of a philosophy. And that's fine; however, one could also argue that all religions are nothing more than a philosophy. But to each his own.

Buddhism is a religion that has been around for a very long time. It is one of the oldest religions on the planet. Converting to Buddhism is a simple process, and it will not interfere with any holidays that you or your family celebrate. If you want a peaceful religion that will not interfere with your way of life, then Buddhism is for you.
