Midnight/Christmas eve service. Who goes to one?

For those of us that do, who here goes to the midnight or Christmas eve service instead of on Christmas day?

I have for the last few years. It's easier than getting up on Christmas.

I do not go to either. I used to go on christmas day, but we stopped going to church as a family.

My dad used to go to reveillons every year when he was a kid

Otherwise known as Midnight Mass.

I did, a long time ago...back when I actually went to church. I grew out of it though.

I go to midnight mass. Christmas morning seems to be a day where we should have an excuse not to do anything but sit at home by the fire opening presents and eating doughnuts.

Well, I'll be eating doughnuts, anyway... I dunno about you guys.

I'm going to midnight mass with some girl after work.

I haven't set foot inside a church in about 5 years aside from AA meetings.

I have gotten angry enough not to go to church, but every time I skip mass for a while, I feel kinda empty.


But that's not the question I was asking. Who goes to a midnight service/mass for christmas? Not do you go to church.

I called in advance, saying that I'm still stuck here. I finished all my actual work hours ago, did my final paper, and cleaned up the entire bar whilst browsing TB. I guess I'm a great multi-tasker but I can't leave till my boss gets here to lock up.

There is literally nothing to do for me here, yet if I leave, I get fired. And now its Christmas. I better get a ****ing bonus or something.

Though if its any consolation that girl is coming here after the service, though hopefully I'll be long gone by then.

Hey I'm not the one needing consolation. You're the one stuck at work. If it's any consolation to you, I'm starving right now.

We'll be friends in hunger my friend. The only thing I can do is drink, and then if I do, I have to do inventory again. Which might actually kill some time.

I guess it sucks when you work for the Germans eh?

Lol I haven't worked for a german yet. I will one day probably. Can't wait till I get a job. I'm just waiting for 2009. I predict it to be a good year. I don't know why, I just do.

Thanks Joe.

Anyone have any opinions on what I should do? I've been calling him since 11:30 and he hasn't answered his phone.
