Do I need to go to Mass twice between the 23rd and the 25th? In a word, YES!
When Christmas falls on a Monday, the weekend prior is the 4th Sunday of Advent. Therefore we go to Mass once for the 4th Sunday in Advent, and then again for Christmas. So, choose one Mass from each column below, and go to both. For example, you could go Saturday night and Sunday night; or Sunday morning and Monday morning. Or, if you really want to be holy, you could go Sunday morning and Sunday night. (Give our two priests encouragement as they preside all 13 Masses during that time!)
