About this template
December 2026 begins on a Tuesday and ends on a Thursday. It has 31 days: 23 weekdays and 8 weekend days, or 22 working days without Christmas Day (Friday, December 25), the month’s only federal holiday, which is printed in red. Grey labels mark Hanukkah (it begins at sundown on Friday, December 4 and ends on Saturday, December 12), the winter solstice (Monday, December 21), Christmas Eve, the start of Kwanzaa (December 26) and New Year’s Eve. Weekends are shaded; November 2026 and January 2027 are shown small at the top, and the bottom of the page lists the dates next to lines for goals and notes. Page 1 of the PDF starts the week on Sunday, page 2 on Monday.

- Use the notes lines for a gift list or a holiday to-do list, or keep a separate to-do list.
