We Norwegians are weird. our main Christmas celebration on the 24th.
Normally there is a short church service in the afternoon. The 25th is a fairly ordinary service at 11.
My father and I go to church the 24th, sometimes my mother joins us, but she gets nervous thinking of all the food that might not get ready (or get burned if left in the oven), so she tends to stay at home

I have this theory that in real life, you don't actually talk, Lynx, but rather, sing out everything, kind of like the Giant's Golden Harp from Jack and the Beanstalk. 
In fact, I bet you'd give the Harp a run for her... uh... strings?

No, I actually do talk like a normal person. But I am just as prone to mention songs your conversation reminds me of in person as I am on the Forum.

Where I live the buses stop about 6pm on Christmas Eve, plus no buses running Christmas
Day. So I won't be going to the Sunday service. (Would be a 3 mile walk each way).
Plus we have no Carer's the Christmas weekend so I've got to sort my aunts personal needs
and I make the dinner etc. Even if the buses were running it would be a struggle to fit everything
in.
If I lived on my own I might consider doing that 3 mile walk each way.

Most churches I've heard about are doing an abbreviated sunday morning on Christmas (cancelling Sunday school and children's programs and probably adjusting service accordingly), many will probably do their traditional Christmas Eve services the night before as well. I think that's the best option as it doesn't quit just because it's difficult but they also take into consideration the fact that lots of people who serve regularly will have good reason to be away.
As I'll be with my parents for Christmas weekend, I'll probably go to church with them whenever they go to church during the weekend. If I were just on my own though, I'd probably only go to church once that weekend.

Tourist & I do daily Bible reading out loud and as he is reading a text at times I will burst out with singing the verse as many of the Bible verses are set to music.... Tourist always says how do you know all those songs or Bible verses in song and music is one of the easiest ways to retain/(memorize) the Bible.....
