[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All children's masses on Christmas Eve are packed. In fact, our church requires tickets.

Go on Christmas Day...it's empty.[/quote]

I don't know of a single Christmas Eve Mass between 4 and 7pm that isn't packed to the gills.  We were joking at Mass yesterday that it's always so tempting to skip it on Christmas so the "C&E" church goers can have the place.  Always glad to see you, but man, it makes going to church a lot more stressful!  Go early.  Very early. Some churches will let you save seats but only for so long, so even the second parent and child should be prepared to arrive at least 1/2hr in advance otherwise sooner or later the ushers will simply be having people fill in empty spots in the pews.

We've learned to go early but bring way more entertainment for the little one than we would on a normal day.  Get there early and then quietly show the child around.  One of you walk up to the altar to see the Nativity scene.  Go out in the lobby and bring a non-messy snack.  Bring a stack of books, lots of quiet toys and you can talk and play quietly in your pew.[/quote]
