Do you go to church on Christmas day...

[Ammi]

..or attend any religious ceremonies over the Christmas season/does your family..?...

[thesheriff443]

I don't, and you ammi?

[Cherie]

I love Midnight Mass :amazed: Makes me feel really Christmassy, the Carols and the atmosphere.

[Lee.]

No, I never have :)

[swinearefine]

God no, and neither does my militant Christian family :rolleyes:

[Jesus.]

Christmas is about receiving presents, not religion and church.

Legitimately agree with this. I keep trying to tell everyone that they're just a bunch of consumerist assholes parading as pious family folk, but no one's been too receptive to that.

[Ramsay]

Nooo

[lily.]

Nope. I'm atheist.

[smudgie]

No.

But I do like to listen to Christmas Carols, even as an atheist.

This tbh :idc:

I've been to a Christian Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. It was beautiful, the service was by candlelight in a beautiful Norman church decked out with greenery... and all the carols... and I didn't blurst into flames so it was all good.

[Kazanne]

Christmas eve we go to midnight mass,it's always part of our Christmas.

[mizzy25]

[Jessica.]

Nope.

[Z]

My family don't belong to a religion, so no, never.

[Natalie.]

Nope but I will one day

[King Gizzard]

[Nemo123]

[Samm]

No, I find churches scary

i think it shut for Christmas :angel:

[joeysteele]

I have generally gone to midnight mass,although now Catholic churches are doing away with holding masses at midnight now.

I used to always go with my Grandmother and the family, it is likely I will be at some service over Christmas.

[Princess]

No, the year I stopped was the year I got my first Take That tour DVD actually, the whole family hasn't gone in years though, clearly following my lead.

[fingers]

I don't but I went with a German family while I was in the RAF.

[Redway]

Nope. I'm atheist.

Church at christmas is great tbf, brings everyone together on the day all jolly and festive, unfortunately I can never be bothered to make the short trip to our local church for it though

[Marsh.]

I used to go to midnight mass but they stopped once the numbers got smaller and smaller.

A lot of the family tend to go in the evening on Christmas Eve with my nan.

[King Gizzard]

there is something quite nice about going for the midnight mass though, although that might just be because I was a kid and loved the thought of being awake at midnight for the first time in my life

Best that you didn't Smithy considering you're a worshipper of that She-Devil.

[Niall]

Nope. Why anyone desires to pack themselves into a cold building to listen to incredibly boring sermons on Christmas is beyond me.

Why is it ironic?

[Josy]

Always used to go as a family to midnight mass when I was younger, it was pretty nice actually especially if when you left the Chapel it was all snowy and calm, felt really christmassy.

Don't ever really go to church or chapel at all now unless it's a funeral, wedding, christening etc.

[Marsh.]

Why is it ironic?

Not wanting to go to church because it's Christmas? :laugh:

[Nemo123]

No, because it's cold and boring, and Christmas!

[Marsh.]

I give up.

..at my church they stopped midnight mass because of people coming out of the pub and going there...I think it became a bit to 'jolly' for them...

I think that is the case in a lot of places, Midnight mass now seems to be at 9pm or 10, I blame MTVN.

[Marc]

No, why on earth would I do that. You can't be pissed at Church

[AnnieK]

Who says....we always used to go and sing Carold after being in the pub in Christmas eve

[Marc]

Then you should burn

[AnnieK]

Harsh.....

[Marc]

Sorry sorry... we burn enough in the summer

[Z]

Sorry sorry... we burn enough in the summer

:laugh3:

[Lee.]

I have to admit, in my younger years we'd stagger into our local abbey for the midnight service on Christmas Eve after being out all night. We always behaved ourselves though.

[MTVN]

Vicar who used to be in our village used to spend Christmas eve down the pub and then perform the midnight service drunk himself

He was an alcoholic though, a proper old school vicar you could say, was before my time

Yes because the religious significance of Christmas really is why people celebrate it nowadays. For most people Christmas is just a day to give gifts more than it is about the birth of Christ.

:laugh2:

For godssake, calm down.

It was a joke, as the origin/root of Christmas is religious. Lighten up. :rolleyes:

[the truth]

Maybe for you but not for true Christians

why u say , you have to admit? are you ashamed of the fact you went to Church ? does it make you feel uncool as you try to impress a bunch of strangers on a remote website? how very odd

[Josy]

Truth give it a rest eh, that's 3 posts in the last 3 minutes with you trying to get a reaction, seriously give it up.
