So, I usually attend a TLM Saturday evenin to fulfill my Sunday obligation.
Since Christmas falls on a Monday this year does attending on Sat..or Sunday
morning fulfill my Monday Christmas obligation as well?
.

The Sunday obligation cannot be fulfilled on Saturday. That is an error of the Vatican 2 church.

With that said, if a Mass that one considers appropriate isn't readily available (I "think" the obligation may not apply if one is 30 or more miles away, I'm uncertain of the exact criteria)
.

No, St. Alphonsus says an hour's walk each way would probably not be long enough to dispense someone. I've seen moral theologians in the 20th century who said an hour's drive definitely is not long enough to dispense someone, and they say it would have to be at least an hour and a half's drive.

People claim an hour's drive was considered long enough to dispense someone from Mass before Vatican 2, but I've never seen a figure that low in any theologian that cites a time/distance.

Why are we even referring to "Saturday Mass" on a Traditional Catholic site?

Because there are a good number of liberals masquerading as traditional Catholics on this forum.

Some are new to tradition, so maybe they don’t know?
