Make room for December commitments
December 2026 begins on Tuesday and has thirty-one days. This Monday-first monthly calendar gives each date a writing box, plus a separate notes area for tasks that do not belong to one particular day. Put fixed appointments on the grid before adding shopping trips, travel plans or family visits. A month view is especially useful when two households need to compare available weekends without opening a shared calendar account.
Read the holiday mark correctly
Christmas Day falls on Friday, December 25, and is the US federal holiday marked on this sheet. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are not marked as federal holidays. School breaks, religious observances and an employer's closing dates can differ, so add those from your own schedule. The label identifies the holiday; it does not promise that a business, school or delivery service will be closed.
Choose the matching paper
Download the Letter file for 8.5 by 11 inch paper or the A4 file for 210 by 297 millimetre paper. Both are landscape pages with the same dates. Print one copy at actual size and check that the outside border is visible. Keep notes short enough to read from a noticeboard. Pencil works well for plans that may move; a second colour can distinguish confirmed appointments from tentative arrangements.
Continue planning into January
The free file is a fixed December calendar for handwriting. The existing 2027 Planner Pack covers the following year with an editable workbook and planning PDFs. Its event and anniversary inputs apply to 2027, so it does not automatically populate this December sheet. Use the free monthly page for the immediate holiday period, then consider the paid pack if you want to carry recurring dates into next year's planning routine.
