at new year / on new year's eve | WordReference Forums
2013年10月15日 · Hello, I have difficulty understanding some prepositions of time like at and on in these examples: AT New Year ON New Year's Eve.

All the best to / in / for the New Year! | WordReference Forums
2014年1月8日 · The topic is sending wishes to people on the occasion of the beginning of a new year, the coming year, the 'New Year'. I do use capitals in this context. It is 'next year', but it's unusual to hear best wishes for 'next year'. (I agree about 'the next year' being wrong in BrE) 'All the best' is a formula and is short for 'all the best (to you ...
How to wish Merry Christmas in business emails

in / at / on holiday [+holidays] - WordReference Forums
2017年11月14日 · I told you the difference. "On" talks about the holidays themselves (in the U.S., days like Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter, Independence Day, etc.) and "at" is more generally the time during which these holidays are celebrated. It would be somewhat difficult to construct examples that unambiguously demonstrate this difference.

2006年1月2日 · Happy New Year!! I want to lead a happy life this year. Now I have a question. Do you feel any difference between "lead a XX life" and "live a XX life"?
