Christmas Service

Today I was asked "what time are you going to church on Christmas?" I was quite surprised and had to really stop and process what I was asked. (Yes, I still am adjusting to the culture out here, it's not like Utah.) I responded with an "I don't go to church on Christmas, I just go on Sunday every week." From the surprised expression on her face I told her that we have a special Christmas program on the Sunday near Christmas, but that we didn't have an actual service on Christmas, unless it fell on a Sunday. This thought crossed my mind, why don't the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints go to church on Christmas and Easter? It seem that the rest of the christian population (my knowledge is extremely limited as far as who goes and who doesn't) heads off to church on Easter and Christmas. That if you're going to go to church at all Christmas and Easter are definitely the times to go. It provides me with something to think about. Any thoughts?
