Nov 26, 2014 · Modwoman in the attic. Wisconsin. English - United States. Nov 26, 2014. #2. I can't think of a situation in which I would ever say " in Christmas." I would say "I usually go on holiday (vacation) at Christmastime," or "…for Christmas." In the second part of your sentence, "on Christmas Day" is correct. Y.
How many Christmas cards did you receive last year? How many Christmas cards do you send? How many presents do you usually give? If you are not a Christian, does the intense focus on Christmas in the U.S. make you feel bad in any way (e.g., ignored, dismissed, angry, etc.)? If you could go anywhere during Christmas vacation, where would you go?
Apr 20, 2007 · As stated previously we use at Christmas, on Christmas Day. I should clarify that slightly. We do not say on Christmas if we are describing the time of an action. If you were to search for "on Christmas" on UK websites only you could find "Spotlight on Christmas", but that is a metaphorical spotlight shining on the Christmas period.

If you say option one, than it sounds like that you will see them at a Christmas celebration on or around Christmas day (Could be Christmas Eve or the weekend of or whatever) If you say option three, than it sounds like you will see them on Christmas day.

Apr 26, 2011 · Speakers of British English don't say "on Christmas". When referring to December 25th, they say "on Christmas Day." Which is why I said that it is usually said that way. That's how Americans would normally say it too. I wouldn't even say at Christmas, but rather at Christmas time. There are, of course, regional differences between the use of ...
Dec 21, 2020 · Dec 22, 2020. #4. In the Western tradition, Christmas lasted 12 days from December 25 to January 6. Nowadays the season has come forwards to include the few days beforehand and doesn't extend for many people beyond January 2. But Christmas Day is and always has been the single day of the 25th. Eastern traditions are different.
Oct 13, 2023 · Oct 13, 2023. #3. Hi, Chinson! I would also normally say "Tomorrow is Christmas." but "Tomorrow will be Christmas (Day)." is also correct, I think. (Especially in a formal speech, etc.) I recommend just saying "Tomorrow is Christmas", as originally suggested! Last edited: Oct 13, 2023.
Jan 22, 2009 · Senior Member. English. Jan 22, 2009. #3. "On Christmas Eve" is the only choice that sounds correct to me. We sometimes say, "at Christmas," but that means 'during the Christmas holidays' or 'at Christmastime.'. Z.
Jul 17, 2018 · Senior Member. When talking about Dec 25, American people say "on Christmas" or (less often) "on Christmas Day", but in British English we only say "on Christmas Day". "At Easter" is the same as "In the Holy Week" (less often). "On Easter" is the same as "on Easter Sunday". For the other days of Easter we must specify: on Easter Monday, etc. .
Dec 20, 2007 · You could close your email with " Wishing you all a merry Christmas. Like nzfauna mentioned, many times we combine the wish for a merry Christmas with the wish for a happy New Year (or for a happy new year.) We might say something like " Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. " if we were refering to Christmas and the holiday ...
