I missed Eve service (often do) but when I’ve made it I don’t think it’s more than 30 minutes including the singing. Maybe it takes an hour with the cookies afterwords.

look at the Hawaii You mult that just found the internet. Just wait until you read about what they are doing to children at that pizza place in Washington DC

I miss it. I actually miss going to Mass, especially around Christmas. My kids are out of Catholic school (one is in CCD, though), so I don't even go once a year, but when I do go to Mass, especially on Christmas or Christmas Eve, I feel a real sense of community. All of the messages are positive, and the connection with the ancients is real (though cynics may disagree). It would be cool to be part of that again. I wish I were a believer, but I'm not.

The brain-dead, brainwashed folks and the hyper-moral scolds are no fun, of course.

You can still go and waste your time. They won't kick you out.

What did religion do to mess you up so Rick?

I know it won't be a popular opinion, but I find santa's wife hot, maybe even better than Rachel Weisz. Like religion, I'm not asking you to follow me down this path but I want to lay it out there for your consideration.

I know that you know that when you talk about brain dead and brain washed you also understand that people far more intelligent than you or I are/have been intellectually engaged in religion. It isn't just some sentimental vestige or homage to their forefathers.

I think you make a great point.

I'm totally on board with Rick's not going to church style...however, my one bone of contention...Fred Claus sucks.

Of course. Totally agree.

That made me laugh.

Welp, I am going tomorrow. Man, I wish I believed.

listen to the readings and take them as non denominational moralism. There is value in the teachings even if you don't believe they are divinely inspired although the Christmas readings don't give much direction

Paul's letters should be fascinating to anybody.

still amazed that anyone would attend a Christmas eve service over a half hour...

Half hour seems excessive.
