Your free days before the holiday

… weekends left before Christmas

Between today and Christmas Eve there are … Saturdays and … Sundays, which is … weekend days in total. If today is a weekend day, it's included.

For most people with a Monday to Friday job, weekends are when the real holiday prep happens: shopping, decorating, baking and visiting family. Knowing exactly how many you have left makes it easier to share out the jobs.

Ideas for planning your weekends

Decorating weekend: many families put up the tree the weekend after Thanksgiving.
Shopping weekend: Small Business Saturday follows Black Friday and is good for local gifts.
Baking weekend: cookie dough freezes well, so you can bake early and finish closer to the day.
Wrapping weekend: keep the last weekend for wrapping and last-minute errands.

How we count weekends

Each Saturday from today until Christmas Eve counts as one weekend. If today is Sunday, that weekend counts too. Christmas Day itself isn't included, even when it falls on a Saturday or Sunday.
