Good question. Probably something on Christmas Eve.
I will probably attend the Lutheran service at 4. Not because I am Lutheran, but because it is the closest church that I feel comfortable with that has a Christmas Eve service (do Lutherans say Mass, too?) and I can walk there.
Yes. I would rather be going to a Catholic midnight mass. :( Next year, when I have a car.
We will attend the 6pm vigil.
My church has membership of less than 2,000. We have two different places to hold services; the Sanctuary for traditional and a multi-use area for contemporary services. We have one Christmas Eve-Eve on Friday at 7:00, Saturday services at 4:00 (Family/kids) 6:00 (Contemporary) 8:00 (Traditional) 11:00 (Traditional/Candlelight) and our usual Sunday services 8:30 a.m. (Traditional) 10:45 (Contemporary) and 11:00 a.m. (Traditional). Yes, that’s a LOT of services!
Latin Mass about 60 miles away. It’s actually rare that a Tridentine Mass is offered on Christmas Day anywhere near here. Most thankful for this one. Dealing with dental work here too — crowns before and after the holidays. Merry Christmas and thank you for all the wonderful Catholic posts over the year.
Midnight Mass this year, have to travel to daughter in law’s Christmas @ noon

Thank you for your post, and I hope we both experience healing!
TLM on Christmas Day.
Midnight Mass. I have to Lector, my husband us ushering, my eldest daughter is in the choir and my son is altar server.
Midnight Mass. My mom will be singing with her choir again for the first time in a few years.
We’ll be attending the Christmas Eve Vigil Mass near us, which will start with Carols around 5. We usually prefer Midnight Mass, but with three of the Horde at 6 or under, Vigil Mass it is, this year. Hope all goes well with the healing, Salvation.
Christmas Day at noon.Our daughter is the Cantor and 3 of our grandchildren are the Altar Servers.:)
I will go to Mass at dawn
Well, the midnight mass at my parish has been co-opted by the Spanish speaking community so I have been going to a different parish for midnight mass the last couple of years.
This year since Christmas is Sunday and I always serve at the 12pm and 7pm Masses on Sunday, I will attend them as usual.
Busy family. What a blessing you are to your parish!
