Context
January in the United States
January in the United States opens with New Year's Day and, on the third Monday, the federal holiday honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. For households and small businesses it is also paperwork season: employers must get W-2 forms to employees by January 31, and the fourth-quarter estimated tax payment is due in mid-January. Schools return from winter break in the first week, so the month starts quickly.
Behind the dates
- New Year's Day
- New Year's Day marks the first day of the Gregorian calendar year. Most workplaces and schools close, and it is the traditional moment to hang a new wall calendar.
- Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Honors the civil rights leader, who was born on January 15, 1929. The holiday was signed into law in 1983, first observed in 1986, and falls on the third Monday of January. Many people treat it as a day of service.

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 January 2027
- The first working day of January 2027 is Monday, January 4, and the last is Friday, January 29.
- Friday, January 1 to Sunday, January 3 is a three-day weekend (New Year's Day), and Saturday, January 16 to Monday, January 18 is a three-day weekend (Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.).
- Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays appear five times this month and the other days four times, so a weekly class, trash day, or payment that falls on one of them comes around once more than usual.
