Christmas Eve and Christmas Day graphics
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are different rooms. A candlelight service at 4:00 and 6:00 is not the same graphic as a morning service on the 25th. Guests decide based on the hour and whether children are in the room. Lead with that, then the mood.

Decide which night you are designing
- Eve: candlelight, pageant, or lessons and carols — name the one you are holding.
- Day: a simpler morning. Do not imply a pageant if there isn’t one.
- If you promote both, the times must be visually separate, not a paragraph.
Tone
Traditional or atmospheric fits a candlelight room. Illustrated fits a pageant. A retail red-and-green pattern fits neither, unless that is honestly your church’s voice.

Questions
Can one poster list every December event?
That is a calendar, and no one will read it on a wall. One event per poster. The rest can live in the bulletin.
