2014年11月30日 · 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.

2023年12月21日 · A possible explanation, if one is needed, (apart from the usual one: that's just the way we say it) is that we can regard the attributive use of Christmas, New Year's, etc., that modifies the main noun Eve, Day, Morning, etc., as taking on the role of determiner, thus obviating the need for an actual determiner.

2013年10月15日 · "On Friday, on Christmas Day, on 23rd May, on Friday morning". We use "at" with the time - "at 6:30, at midnight, at dinner time", a few irregular things - "at night, at the weekend" and also with religious festivals - "at Easter, at Christmas" We can compare "on Christmas Day" ( just the 25th), with "at Christmas" (the Christmas holiday period).

2021年12月24日 · When saying goodbye, you can wish people Merry/Happy Christmas at any time from December 15-26, because it's a wish for the future. After that, you wish them Happy New Year up to Mid-January. Reactions: pob14 , Rover_KE and olia808

2016年11月17日 · I think in general, we use "on" to mean the exact day when a festival is celebrated and "at" to mean the general time around the festival, that is, from a couple of days before the festival to a couple of days after it but I wonder whether "at" could be used in such a sense with "New Year's Eve" because "(on X's) eve" is a very specific time reference, but then I suppose it can be.

2011年8月6日 · As a transitive verb without the 'of', the literal meaning is still related to pregnancy: "She conceived a child", "He was conceived on Christmas Eve 1998". It can also be used metaphorically - you can conceive a plan, conceive an idea - but the basic meaning is identical: you're bringing something new into existence.

2017年7月11日 · There is not a need, there is an option. Christmas (i) the period of celebration that occurs between 24th December and 6th January (ii) 25th December - the day designated as Jesus' birthday - also known as Christmas Day (noun phrase - name/title) -> the day of Christ's Mass -> Mass = a religious ceremony.

2011年1月7日 · I would not say "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year", but I might say, especially on Christmas Day, "Merry Christmas! And have a Happy New Year." "Happy New Year" refers to both the new year and New Year's Eve/New Year's Day but "a happy new year" really seems to refer just to the new year. "Happy New Year!"

2014年2月10日 · Yes, dtv Atlas der deutschen Sprache (same as above: 1978/1994; p. 238) confirms that - that is, the Dutch and Low German words both obviously are cognates (I don't know if linguists agree on either being first, Kluge claims the Low German calque was first), and both are a calque from French "pomme de Sine" - "Chinese apple".
