I might take my kids there. Then again I also took them to see Santa.

Unfunny quip aside, it is a social gathering and it is undeniably positive for the community.

That really depends on the church. Many flavors of religion are a net negative for the community.

Possibly. I was mostly talking about the specific mild flavour of Roman Catholicism practised by church we frequent here in London.
