2009年1月22日 · 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.
2007年4月20日 · You can, but "on Christmas Day" or "on Christmas Eve" are very common and a little more precise. Like our British members, I'd use "at" with "Christmas" by itself: I'll see you at Christmas = I'll see you at some time during the Christmas holiday. cross-posted
2023年12月21日 · Yes, that's fine grammatically, but it's unnecessarily wordy. It would be more natural to say, for example, He was born on Christmas Eve, 1909.

Last year it fell on a Sunday. Next year it falls on a Tuesday. We would not say "Christmas falls on December 25." Christmas is always on December 25.
2011年2月17日 · British English. Feb 17, 2011. #4. Peterdg said: I'd use "during". So would I. At Easter, but during the Easter holiday.
