What do you think is the most “Lutheran” aspect of your Christmas celebration?

Your worship time? Your theology of Christmas? The songs you sing at worship? The food you prepare?

Worship on Christmas morning. While others may be sleeping in or unwrapping gifts, going to church to thank and praise God seems very "Lutheran".

Santa comes while we are at church on Christmas Eve! :) Everyone in our church did it this way when I was little. The children are always well behaved!
Decorating the church with lots of greenery and lights & the nativity out front. No ornaments for the greenery in church, which is unusual when you consider how much us German-heritage-people LOVE our Christmas ornaments.
The church I grew up in also always handed out treat bags of peanuts, chocolates, & oranges or apples to everyone who attended.
And then - singing all the Christmas songs -AFTER Christmas.
