0Hi there,02br
02br
00What preposition should I use with festivals, during, in or at?02br
02br
00Does 'at Christmas' refer to the day of 25th December? Does 'during Christmas' refer to the days before and after the 25th? Can I use 'in' to replace 'during'?02br
02br
00If I want to refer to the days of 24, 25, 26th December, can I write 'during Christmas'?02br
