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.
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.)?

Aug 9, 2013 · In a plural sense you can say "holiday season," referring to the Christmas holidays. But "holiday" as a noun has a singular sense (of a single day).
