Normally if Christmas Eve falls on a weekday I am open as usual but most pick up early. I do have it in my contract that I reserve the right to close early to facilitate family plans. We are involved with church services that night - our church as 4 to accommodate demand 5, 7, 9, and 11. Sometimes the youth were involved with tableau or singing for the 5 and then I closed at noon so they could rest up before the evening. Now we are just involved with the other three - teens for 7 and adult choir for 9 and 11 but it makes for a long night because once we arrive at 6 we are stuck there till midnight but we do things between services, share food, etc. so it is fun for the participants too.
