I hope this doesn't break the religion rule as I feel it's pretty generic.

Hi Clinte,
I am so dreading Xmas services with my parents. I used to go to church every Sunday, but then I got to where I couldn't handle going alone. I felt like everyone was looking at me & talking about what I was wearing or whatever. I also started crying hysterically at one service, and I still do that during some Christian hymns. A friend of mine told me that going to church makes you as much of a Christian as standing in your garage makes you a car.
I would just try to be honest with your family and don't wait until the last minute to back out. That's my trick that never goes over very well. Don't be hard on yourself. The holidays are very hard for a lot of people and I think we may feel more guilty because we have family during the holidays, at least I do.
Peace & Hugs,
TnT
