If you look at the calendar, Christmas will fall on Sunday in the following coming years: 2011, 2016, 2022, 2033, 2039, 2044 and 2050; less than 7 years most of the time and over a decade every twenty-eight years. So there is a repeating pattern: after 5 years, then 6 years, then 11 years, then 6 years and then the pattern starts over again.
Christmas Day falls on a Sunday as often as any other day, it just so seems less frequent as it only happens 1/7th of the time, as supposed to Easter which is always on Sunday.
In the 21st Century, Christmas will be on Sunday these years:
2005, 2011, 2016, 2022, 2033, 2039, 2044, 2050, 2061, 2067, 2072, 2078, 2089 and 2095.
Years in bold are past years.
It depends on which year you are talking about, this year it'll be a weekday.
About every 6 years or so.
The next year in which Christmas day will fall on a Sunday will be in 2016.
Yes, since 2016 it a leap year Christmas will fall on Friday in '15 and Sunday in '16.
December is a whole month, Sunday is just a day so 'December" can't fall on any day of the week as there are 4.25 weeks in the month. If you we're really asking how often Christmas falls on Sunday, since the millennium Christmas has so far been on a Sunday in years 2005 and in 2011; and in 2016 Christmas will again be on Sunday.

Christmas is always on the 25th of December so the day of the week changes every year. Christmas 2011 was on a Sunday so logically it should be on a Sunday in 2018 but because of leap years the next time Christmas will fall on a Sunday will be 2016. The pattern does eventually repeat but not for many years.
Yes, because in the Christmas of 2010 Christmas day was on a Saturday so Boxing Day was on Sunday
twice Christmas falls on Sunday in 2016 and 2022, and it skips Sunday in 2028.
