Anyone off to Church of Xmas Day?

Anyone off to Church of Xmas Day?
My fiancé's father is catholic so wanted to go to church this morning, which is cool. My fiancé is going because they're going to one that's local to us as they're visiting for the day and haven't been before (she hasn't either but she knows the area). She's not religious at all but she wants to go with them all the same.

I of course declined. Just wondered how many of you are going and why? Have you been forced to or is it just something you do as an Xmas thing?

Also, merry christmas.

I can't remember when I last went on christmas day. Must have been when I was a child. I luxuriate in doing nothing besides having my second cup of coffee and browsing the web.

Nope, my family don't go. Years ago my mother would sometimes (rarely) force us to go. Nowadays I use it as a joke, "let's all go to church!", and everyone laughs.
Even if the rest of my family wanted to go, which they wouldn't, I still wouldn't go.

Well, we walked past a few churches today - does that count?

No of course not, I'd only visit a church if it had architectonic value, which I greatly appreciate.

No, I'm going to be doing something a lot more fun than going to church. I'm going to pull my eyes out with a fork.

Hear hear. I've been to a few that look pretty light and airy on the inside, but the indoctrination and oppression factors kill it.
