November 2025 Printable Calendar – Monday Start

Two Federal Holidays in Thirty Days, Both of Them Mid-Week

November 2025 starts on Saturday the 1st and finishes on Sunday the 30th. It holds 30 days, 20 weekdays, and ten weekend days — five Saturdays (1, 8, 15, 22, 29) and five Sundays (2, 9, 16, 23, 30). Veterans Day falls on Tuesday the 11th and Thanksgiving on Thursday the 27th, and removing both leaves 18 federal working days, the fewest of any month in the fourth quarter.

The Case for a Monday Start in a Two-Holiday Month

When a month loses two days out of 20, the working week stops being a reliable unit and the grid has to carry the information instead. A Monday-start layout puts the weekend together at the right edge of each row, so the four or five available days appear as one continuous block and the gap left by a holiday is obvious. On a Sunday-start sheet the same week is broken across two rows, and the count of remaining days has to be done rather than seen.

The Rows, and Which Weeks the Holidays Touch

Drawn Monday first, the opening row runs Monday October 27 through Sunday November 2, carrying five October days before November enters. Four rows then begin inside the month — the 3rd, the 10th, the 17th, and the 24th — and the last of them closes on Sunday the 30th without borrowing from December. Two of those rows, the weeks of the 3rd and the 17th, are complete Monday-to-Friday stretches that neither holiday touches. The week of the 10th loses Tuesday the 11th; the week of the 24th loses Thursday the 27th.

Veterans Day on a Tuesday

Veterans Day is observed on November 11 regardless of the day it falls on, and in 2025 that is a Tuesday. Federal buildings, banks, and post offices are shut, and postal delivery pauses. Because the holiday sits on the second day of the week, the week of the 10th opens with a working Monday, loses Tuesday, and then runs three more working days — an awkward shape that is best handled by moving anything that needs a two-day turnaround out of that week entirely.

Thanksgiving on a Thursday

Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, which in 2025 is the 27th — the latest date it can take. Travelling, hosting, and cooking all land on that week, and Friday the 28th is the busiest retail day of the year, so the final complete working week is effectively three days long for many workplaces. Black Friday budgeting and the first entries on a year-close checklist both belong in the week of the 17th, while attention is still available.

Daylight Saving Ends on the Second Day of the Month

Clocks move back an hour on Sunday the 2nd, which is the day after the month begins. Evenings darken an hour earlier for the rest of November, which shortens the window for outdoor work, commutes, and after-school activity, and it arrives before most people have adjusted their routines to the holiday season ahead.

Printing a Business Version

The month takes one sheet in either size, and the two shortened rows stay visible when printed without color. With every row beginning on a Monday, marking the two holiday weeks first makes the month's genuine capacity visible before anything else goes in.
