Context
December in Australia
December is the start of summer in Australia, so Christmas Day and Boxing Day are summer holidays, often spent outdoors. When either falls on a weekend, most states add a substitute weekday. The school year ends in mid to late December, and many businesses close between Christmas and New Year for the summer break.
Behind the dates
- Christmas Day
- Celebrates the birth of Jesus. In Australia it falls in summer, so the day is often spent outdoors. When December 25 falls on a weekend, an additional weekday holiday is given in most states.
- Boxing Day
- The day after Christmas. The name is usually traced to the old custom of giving boxes of gifts or money to servants and tradespeople. When it falls on a weekend, a substitute day is usually given.

Printing
Printing tips
- Choose A4 outside North America and Letter in the United States and Canada; the two layouts are otherwise identical, with the same generous margins.
- In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% or "Actual size". "Fit to page" quietly shrinks the grid and softens the lines.
- Portrait is the classic wall format; landscape gives each day a wider box if you write big or plan in two colors.
- For a wall calendar that stays flat, print on heavier paper, around 160 to 200 gsm.

Planning
Planning notes for December 2027
- The first working day of December 2027 is Wednesday, December 1, and the last is Friday, December 31.
- Saturday, December 25 to Tuesday, December 28 is a four-day weekend (Christmas Day and Boxing Day).
- Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays appear five times this month and the other days four times, so a weekly class, bin day, or payment that falls on one of them comes around once more than usual.
