December 2027 calendar

December 2027 runs thirty-one days, opens on a Wednesday and ends on a Friday. This sheet comes 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, on Letter or A4, drawn to the physical dimensions of the paper it lands on.

Holidays in December 2027

December's list is short, and both of the month's weekday closings are observation shifts: the federal rule moves a Saturday holiday's day off to the Friday before it. Every entry below is computed from those rules, and each says whether it is an actual date or an observed one. New Year's Eve appears as an observance; it is not a federal holiday, so it has no mark of its own in the grid.

How this December 2027 page works

Christmas Day is a Saturday this year, so its federal observance moves to Friday the 24th. New Year's Day 2028 is also a Saturday, so its observed date falls in this month: Friday, December 31. The sheet marks both observed Fridays alongside Christmas Day itself.

The sheet is an SVG whose units are millimeters, so a cell height or a margin is a physical measurement on paper, 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 with no server involved. The calendar content is computed: December 2027's Wednesday opening, its 31 days and its five rows come from date arithmetic, and the holiday marks come from applying the federal observation rules to that computed grid. Nothing on the sheet is typed in by hand.

The grid has no week numbers, no moon phases and no non-federal observances in the cells; New Year's Eve is 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 this month. The coloring-top layout fits the same December grid into the lower part of the page and frames a blank panel above it for a child to draw in. Whichever you choose, keep the print dialog's scale at 100%, or 'Actual size'; a fit-to-page setting shrinks the millimeters.

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 end of the month.
What day of the week does December 2027 start on?
Wednesday. December 1, 2027 is a Wednesday, and the month ends on Friday, December 31, the last day of the year and an observed federal holiday. Its 31 days begin midweek, so December needs only five week rows whichever day your week begins on, and each date cell keeps more writing height than a six-row month allows.
Is New Year's Eve marked on the December 2027 calendar?
Not as New Year's Eve. The Eve, Friday, December 31, 2027, appears in the holiday list below the sheet with no mark of its own, because the cells are kept for federal holidays and their observed dates. That 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 stays a list entry.
Can I print a December 2027 coloring calendar?
Yes. The coloring layout keeps the full December grid, holiday marks included, and sets it low on the sheet, leaving a framed, empty panel across the upper part for a drawing. A child fills the panel while the household crosses off days beneath it. It prints on the same Letter or A4 paper as the standard sheet, and a dated December drawing often outlasts 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 is not sent anywhere. Before saving, confirm two settings: the paper size matches what you will load later (Letter or A4), and scale reads 100% or 'Actual size'. A PDF saved that way carries the true millimeter dimensions and prints correctly later from any machine.
