How Americans Use Calendars
Across the USA, calendars are used differently depending on the season and life stage.
Early Year (Jan-Apr)
Focus on structure and planning. New Year resolutions, tax deadlines, and establishing routines for the year ahead.
Mid-Year (May-Aug)
Emphasize flexibility and travel. Summer vacations, outdoor events, and more relaxed scheduling around family activities.
Late Year (Sep-Dec)
Center on holidays and reflection. Back-to-school, major holidays, year-end deadlines, and family gatherings.
Planning Tip: Understanding these seasonal patterns helps Americans plan time off strategically, schedule family events well in advance, and coordinate work schedules around known busy periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about USA calendars and holidays.
The United States has 11 official federal holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day (or Indigenous Peoples' Day), Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Federal employees and many private businesses observe these holidays.
When a federal holiday falls on a Saturday, it is typically observed on the preceding Friday. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday. This ensures federal employees and many workers receive a day off for each holiday.
While the Gregorian calendar is used worldwide, USA calendars highlight American federal holidays and observances that differ from other countries. Additionally, the US commonly uses Sunday as the first day of the week, while many countries use Monday. Our USA calendars are specifically designed for American planning needs.
All 50 states observe the 11 federal holidays, but some states have additional state-specific holidays. For example, some states observe Confederate Memorial Day, Cesar Chavez Day, or state-specific celebrations. Private employers can also choose which holidays to observe for their employees.
