Should churches close Christmas Day due to low attendance?

I'd say "no" if that's the reason, but when they do make this decision to cancel services it probably also is based on thinking that people--not all of the usual attendees but some--trying to get to the church would involve them taking risks with life and limb because of the weather. So, for that reason the decision to close is more understandable IMO.

Is there a universal answer? I imagine the circumstances will be different for each church.

No, I don't think they should close.
