My question mark was meant to express my complete and utter perplexity at this.

If going to church on Sunday interferes with your "family time", your family isn't much of a family.

I agree. Going to church together is one of the most important family activities of the week. More important than dinner together each night.

I disagree.

We have family coming in for Christmas to my mother in law's house. There are eight families attending, some coming in from out of town.

All families attend Christian churches, different ones. Some of our churches are having a Christmas service, and some are not. Some family members are showing up in the morning/early afternoons so that they can leave early and go to their in-laws on Christmas evening.

This is the one day in a year that we can all get together.

So we will not be attending church that day so that we can spend a few hours with our family while we have a chance.

"Church" is not simply the building you meet in.
