I'm going to my mother's for Christmas

Is the sentence below correct? In particular, is it okay to use the preposition "for" before "Christmas"?

Hello teal lime, Yes, your sentence is correct, and the preposition is used correctly there. I got a definition of "for" from the Oxford dictionary. 16 used to show that something is arranged or intended to happen at a particular time ?
