celebrate Noël

用法筆記

Almost always written with the capital 'N' and the diaeresis 'ë'. Used mainly on greeting cards, menus, carol titles, and in literary or French-influenced contexts; everyday English speakers say 'Christmas'.

常見錯誤

See you after the noel.
See you after Christmas.
In ordinary spoken English, native speakers use 'Christmas', not 'Noël'; reserve 'Noël' for written, decorative, or French-flavoured contexts.
happy noel
Happy Noël' or 'Joyeux Noël
Keep the capital letter and the diaeresis on the 'e'; dropping them looks like a misspelling.
