    At the weekend and on the weekend can both be used to refer to the weekend period, with "at the weekend" being more common in British English and "on the weekend" used more in American English. When referring to a specific holiday or celebration day, use "on" with the date (e.g. on Christmas day) but use "at" to refer to the broader holiday period of multiple days (e.g. at Christmas). Prepositions like "at", "on", "in", or "the" are not used with expressions of time like today, tomorrow, yesterday, this morning, tonight, last, next or every.
