December 2027 calendar

December 2027 runs thirty-one days, opens on a Wednesday, and ends on a Friday. This sheet arrives with its federal markings in place — including the two observed Fridays, December 24 and December 31, that shorten the year's last two working weeks. Print it for a wall, a desk, or a fridge: Letter or A4, drawn to the physical dimensions of the paper it will land on.

Holidays in December 2027

December's list is short but carries a wrinkle: both of the month's weekday closings are observation shifts — the federal rule that moves a Saturday holiday's day off to the Friday before it. Every entry below is computed from those rules, and each states whether it is an actual date or an observed one. New Year's Eve appears as an observance: not a federal holiday, so it stays off the grid.

How this December 2027 page works

December 2027 gives federal workers two Fridays off, and both are boundary cases. Christmas Day falls on Saturday the 25th, so its observed closing is Friday, December 24; New Year's Day 2028 also lands on a Saturday, which pulls its observed day back into December: Friday the 31st. That makes two three-day weekends one week apart — a shape that matters to anyone booking end-of-year travel, setting shipping cutoffs, or writing an office-closure notice. This sheet prints with both observed Fridays marked in their cells alongside Christmas Day itself, so what hangs on the wall agrees with what the federal schedule actually does. The month opens on a Wednesday and fits in five week rows, leaving room to write in either layout.

The sheet is an SVG whose units are millimeters, so a cell height or a margin is a physical measurement, not a share of whatever screen it is previewed on. At print time a page rule declares the exact dimensions of Letter or A4 to the dialog, and the browser does the rendering — choose 'Save as PDF' and the file is produced on your machine, no server involved. The calendar content is built the same way: December 2027's Wednesday opening, its 31 days, and its five rows come from the browser's date functions when the page loads, and the holiday marks come from applying the federal observation rules to that computed grid. Nothing on the sheet is hand-maintained, so there is no stale table for reality to disagree with.

What the grid leaves out is deliberate. No week numbers, no moon phases, and no non-federal observances in the cells: New Year's Eve lives in the list below the sheet, where a note can carry context a small cell cannot. Two options change the sheet's shape. A Monday start rebuilds the grid with the weekend paired at the row's end — still five rows for this month. The coloring-top layout compresses the same December grid into the lower part of the page and frames a blank panel above it for a child to draw in, which turns a planning sheet into something worth keeping in January. Whichever you choose, the print dialog's scale must stay at 100%, or 'Actual size'; any fit-to-page setting resizes the millimeters away.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the December 2027 calendar show two observed holidays?
Because both year-end holidays land on Saturdays. Christmas Day falls on Saturday, December 25, so the federal day off shifts to Friday, December 24. New Year's Day 2028 falls on a Saturday too, and the same rule moves its observed day to the Friday before — which is December 31, 2027, inside this month. The sheet marks all three: the observed Friday, Christmas Day itself, and the observed New Year's closing at the month's end.
What day of the week does December 2027 start on?
December 1, 2027 is a Wednesday, and the month ends on Friday, December 31 — also the year's last day and an observed federal holiday. Because its 31 days begin midweek, December needs only five week rows whichever day your week begins on, so each date cell keeps more writing height than a six-row month would allow.
Is New Year's Eve marked on the December 2027 calendar?
New Year's Eve — Friday, December 31, 2027 — appears in the holiday list below the sheet but is not marked in the grid, because the cells are reserved for federal holidays and their observed dates. That particular Friday does carry a mark, though: the observed New Year's Day closing lands on the same date. So the cell is marked for the federal day off, and the Eve itself remains a list entry.
Can I print a December 2027 coloring calendar?
Yes. The coloring layout keeps the full December grid — holiday marks included — but sets it low on the sheet, leaving a framed, empty panel across the upper portion for a drawing. A child fills the panel; the household crosses off days beneath it. It prints on the same Letter or A4 stock as the standard sheet, and a dated December drawing has a way of outlasting the month it was made for.
How do I save the December 2027 calendar as a PDF?
Open the print dialog and choose 'Save as PDF' as the destination — the browser writes the file directly on your device, so the December sheet never travels anywhere. Before saving, confirm two settings: the paper size matches what you will eventually load (Letter or A4), and scale reads 100% or 'Actual size'. A PDF saved that way carries the true millimeter dimensions and will print correctly later from any machine.
