My church has a mass time on Sunday at 4pm, and some later times as well. I would like to go to the 4pm mass, but is that too early to be counted as Christmas mass obligation?
If your parish is offering a Christmas vigil mass at 4pm, then participation in this mass fulfills your Christmas mass obligation.My church has a mass time on Sunday at 4pm, and some later times as well.

That is fine. It fulfills the obligation to attend Mass on Christmas.My church has a mass time on Sunday at 4pm, and some later times as well. I would like to go to the 4pm mass, but is that too early to be counted as Christmas mass obligation?
That’s true. But it brings up an entirely different topic.In general, though, the Christmas Vigil is supposed to happen either “[before or after First Vespers]”, according to my understanding.
