I absolutely love Sunday Christmas. Unfortunately almost no one around me agrees with me. We believe in "keeping the Sabbath holy" more strictly than most Christians so people don't enjoy having their Christmas spoiled by worship or having to curtail their normal Christmas activities. We're actually planning on opening presents on Christmas Eve this year so that we can go to church with our minds more on the Savior (that's the idea anyway- we'll see how that works).

Are you RPCNA by chance? I'm thrilled that we are having worship, a fellowship meal, and a Psalm sing this year. Less than thrilled to have to teach Sunday school that day though...

I like the idea of doing gifts the night before... or maybe we can save them for after church when we are all fed and happy. Hmmmmm....
