December 2026 Calendar

Print it in the last week of November and tape it where the household sees it every morning. Write school concerts, party dates and gift deadlines in the cells as invitations arrive. Teachers can post one on the board and cross off days until break. Use Write online on the preview to type or draw entries first, then print the finished version. Keep a second blank copy for planning the week between Christmas and New Year, when routines fall apart.

December is a short runway with a lot of fixed points. This sheet shows how many weekdays remain before the holiday, which matters if packages need to ship or work has to be handed off first. Because the month starts on a Tuesday, the first week is short and the 31st lands on a Thursday, so the year closes midweek. People tend to forget that the last days of the month belong to the next planning cycle.

Leave Holidays on US federal holidays for a clean page, or choose US holidays and observances to see seasonal dates too. Switch on the Notes area if you keep a gift list or a travel checklist. Portrait gives taller cells for several appointments a day, while landscape suits a fridge or office wall. Start the week on Monday if you plan around work weeks.

How many weekdays are left before Christmas on this page?

Count the Monday to Friday cells from the 1st to the 24th. December 2026 opens on a Tuesday and Christmas is a Friday, so the final full workweek ends on the 18th. Mark ship-by dates and handoffs in those cells so nothing slips past.

Where does the Notes area go on a December page?

Turn on Notes and a lined box sits next to the grid in landscape or below it in portrait. It works well for a gift list, a card address list or a packing list during travel weeks.

Does the page show Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve?

Only Christmas Day is marked under US federal holidays. Choose US holidays and observances for more seasonal dates, or write Christmas Eve and December 31 into the cells yourself.
