Diocese of Arlington
St. Patrick, Fredericksburg
Missa cantata at 12 midnight
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Winchester
Missa cantata at 12 midnight (most likely; possibly Missa lecta)
St. John the Baptist (most likely at Chelsea Academy – confirmation pending), Front Royal
Missa cantata at 12 midnight
Holy Trinity at Renaissance Montessori School, Nokesville
Missa lecta at 12 midnight with Music and Carols
St. Anthony Mission, King George
Missa cantata at 12 midnight preceded by Carols at 11:30 p.m.

No TLMs listed
Nota bene: Denying a parish the ability to offer Christmas Masses is particularly malevolent given that the offertory monies received on the solemnity are the only ones of the entire year that remain 100% with the parish. That is, they are not assessed by the Archdiicese.
The Archdiocese of Washington continues to ban Christmas masses, although such a restriction was never specified in the document TC but only a suggestion on the part of the archdiocese of Chicago.
