Here tradition for Christmas mass is that they prepare a big table where at the end of the celebration they serve everyone hot chocolate with pandoro, panettone, Christmas biscuits, etc. Sadly I was forced many times to eat all that for free only to keep up appearances :dunno:

There you go, reason one to actually go to a Christmas church service :d

A favourite team, yes, of which I'd like to go to that small match not many people go to instead of just that big thing everyone goes to anyway 'because we're supposed to' ;) 

 

Well. If the atmosphere is better at the big day, there's another reason for you. Second, Christmas is (in my opinion) a time of traditions. If somebody doesn't feel like going, noone will say anything.

Never really went to church for the “atmosphere” I have to admit.

That last part is the problem in some families though, where weirdly it's seen as a bad thing if you decide not to go :p
