That is similar to my experience of church as a child. The evangelical church I went to had a carol service on the nearest Sunday to Christmas but no service on Christmas Day. In fact in some of the more strict branches they did not even celebrate Christmas thinking of it as a secular celebration.

More recent times though most Evangelical Churches in Britain now do hold Christmas Day Services as they see this as both a time to fellowship with Members and an opportunity to to witness to non Christians who may only go to church at special times such as Christmas and Easter.

I grew up with on again off again Catholicism as inflicted by a twisted grandma that didn't believe in left-handedness and a whole bunch else. We can be thankful that she got married instead of becoming a nun. If she worked in a Catholic school there would be generations of messed up children in dire need of therapy today.

As for me, I stumbled upon a church that allegedly embraces those of us with visions/premonitions/whatever you want to call it...instead of suggesting pills.
