Re: Church poll
I'm going to partially "pull the Jew card" since my DH and DSs are Jewish; although, I've never heard of Jews not being happy in big crowds....
The two are unrelated, but both are true for us
DH and I always go, kids in tow. He goes like 90 minutes early to make sure we get seats, while I get the girls ready -- we learned that lesson before we had kids!
It's so darn crowded, though, it's hard for me to enjoy the service like I do on a regular week.

We tried to go to Mass tonight but didn't make it. Apparently when you donate thousands of dollars so your church can build a 3x bigger church than the old one, you have to leave over an hour and a half early to get a seat in the bigger church (not really an option when you have a 16mo toddler)....even though it usually wasn't a problem to get a seat in the smaller church when we left 30 minutes prior to the service starting. I'm afraid that our attempt to get to church has made me a little Grinchy after dealing with the very rude members and/or guests of our church in traffic.
It's Christmas people! Don't be rude...especially when you are on your way to church!

I think church-goers are declining quite a bit. From the picture below - the highest percentage or people who attend church regularly was only around 60% in one state (and that was in 2009).
IMO the spirit of Christmas is a celebration of community and family, so if people do that without going to church, that is great. Heck, the date was arbitratily picked by early Christians to coincide with a Roman holiday where people could do anything they wanted for several days without punishment, so Christmas about giving and loving community and family sure beats lawlessness.
Are you united with the CCOKCs?
