  2. Tradition: Christmas Eve services often carry deep-rooted traditions for families and communities. It's a time-honored practice for many to attend a service as part of their holiday traditions. This is a great time to start a new tradition! Positive yearly social traditions are psychologically grounding and have many benefits for our well being.

  3. Community and Togetherness: Christmas Eve services provide an opportunity for people to come together with family, friends, and their community. It's a time to share in the joy of the season and connect with others.

  5. Finding Comfort and Peace: For some, the Christmas season can be emotionally charged. Attending a service may offer a sense of comfort, peace, and solace, providing a reflective space during a bustling time.

  6. Remembrance and Gratitude: Christmas Eve services often include moments of reflection on the year, fostering gratitude for blessings and remembering loved ones who have passed away. It can be a time to appreciate the good that is present in one's life.
