There are three churches I regularly interact with, so I ended up going to two Christmas Eve services.  Would have gone to three save for a scheduling conflict. Both had communion and ended with a candlelit Silent Night.  First up was the UU church I consider my main church, at four in the afternoon.  We had two medleys to sing there as well as Silent Night, one of secular carols and one of religious hymns. I gave a bit of a talk before Silent Night about this being the hundredth anniversary of the Christmas Truce and did a solo of the first German verse before we all sung the usual three English verses.  At seven was the Lutheran church I usually do Sunday school with on my way to the UU church each Sunday.  Quite traditional service, with plenty of scripture readings, hymns, and a brief Christmas themed sermon in addition to the communion and concluding candlelit Silent Night.

Is this a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day thing?

Most churches around here will have one or more Christmas Eve services, but not usually a Christmas Day service.
