Why not? Wear it to work too... albeit much lighter than other places.
The only difference between work and church is that little boys get molested in church.

Slovak Christmas Eve > *
a soup of tart quality, usually made of sauerkraut brine and dried mushrooms, continues the exodus theme of recalling the bitterness of slavery-life without Christ.
Fish is generally used, as Catholics in Eastern Europe observed a strict fast on the vigil of Christmas. Next come "opekance-pupacky-bobalky" which generally are sweet, raised dough or may be a biscuit type dough sweetened with honey and sprinkled with a pleasant preparation of poppy seed. The use of poppy seed recalls a pagan tradition in which poppy seed was strewn at the portal in order that the evil spirits might be occupied with picking up each morsel and thus would not enter the house.
"Pirohy" are generally enjoyed at the Christmas Eve supper. They are dough pockets, pastry filled with fillings of sweet cabbage, sauerkraut, lekvar, prunes, or potatoes and cheese and boiled.
"Pagace" is also enjoyed at the dinner, also called "Slovak Pizza." It is thin raised dough baked either in a single or double layer filled with sweet cabbage or mashed potatoes. After baking, it is brushed with butter and cut in pie wedges. In addition, "lokse" a potato pancake type of specialty is also enjoyed.
Other foods eaten include dried prunes, apples, nuts, and St. John's bread known as "Carob." The meal concludes with the traditional Slovak pastry, known as "Kolace" or strudel-like rolls which are filled with walnuts, poppy seed, lekvar (prune butter) or cheese. Red wine completes the evening's feasting.

Christmas Eve, we get together at my ukrainian families side and have some traditional food like perogies, cabbage rolls, so on and so forth, and we get fresh lobster, crab legs, and other fish. Open presents around midnight. The next day we goto my italian families side, and have as much italian food as you can think of, and open more presents and shiet.
Add in a shitload of drinking from both sides

I forgot one. This is my own tradition. I always try to see the video for David Bowie and Bing Crosby do Peace on Earth and Little Drummer Boy on muchmusic. If I don't see it, like I didn't this year, I download it and watch it like i'm doing now. rock: Ok I feel better now.

our calender is off because of it, the guy who created the modern age calender was off 5 years, so we actually celebrated the new year in 1995,
The dude forgot the first four years of agustas when he ruled under his given name, and the dude forgot the year 0...
