9:55 Catholic CHurch has three Masses on Christmas day.

Midnight Mass, Dawn Mass, Day Mass.

The Day Mass, I think, has John 1 up to verse 14 as its Gospel.

19:41 Erroneous.

Christmas really is a Mass.

You have no trace of any Christmas celebration outside the Church celebrating Mass, since denial of the Mass very much post-dates St Hippolytus in 202. Among nominal Christians, that is.
