November 2025 Printable Calendar – With Holidays

Two Federal Holidays in One Month

November 2025 carries two federal holidays, and they arrive in very different shapes. Veterans Day falls on Tuesday, November 11. Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 27, the fourth Thursday of the month. One is a mid-week single day off; the other anchors a four-day weekend for most workplaces, and for many people a five-day one, since the Friday after Thanksgiving is commonly granted even though it is not a federal holiday. Both dates are printed in the grid below, which makes it easy to see how little of the month's end remains for ordinary work.

The Grid at a Glance

The month has 30 days and starts on Saturday the 1st, so the opening weekend is the 1st and 2nd. Five Saturdays (1, 8, 15, 22, 29) and five Sundays (2, 9, 16, 23, 30) give ten weekend days and 20 weekdays. Removing the two holidays leaves 18 federal working days — the smallest number of any month in the fourth quarter, and the reason November is a poor place to schedule work that must be finished by year end.

Veterans Day: Tuesday, November 11

A Tuesday holiday is the most disruptive weekday for a holiday to occupy, because it cuts the week in half rather than extending it. Federal offices, banks, and post offices close on the 11th; many schools and some private employers do not. The Tuesday break leaves Monday the 10th and Wednesday the 12th as isolated single days, both of which tend to become low-output. Two ways to make that week useful: consolidate meetings onto Monday and Wednesday so the week has a coherent middle, or accept it as a light week and reserve it for tasks that need concentration rather than coordination. Anything requiring a bank transfer or a postal deadline should be handled by Monday the 10th.

Thanksgiving: Thursday, November 27

The fourth Thursday is the 27th, which puts the holiday late in the month and leaves only one working day, Friday the 28th, before the calendar turns. That Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year in the US, and it is also the day when the people you need are most likely to be out. Treat Wednesday the 26th as the effective end of the working month: it is the last day when a full set of colleagues is likely to be reachable. If you are hosting, cooking, or traveling, the 22nd and 23rd weekend is the practical preparation window, and grocery shopping before the 24th saves a wasted trip.

What November Is Actually Good For

• Year-close planning: the first two weeks, before the holidays, are the right time to write December and January priorities while there is still room to adjust.
• Budget review: Black Friday and holiday spending are easier to control with a written limit set before the 27th rather than after.
• Documentation: the quiet days around Veterans Day suite filing, cleanup, and anything that has been postponed all year.
• Not for: deadlines with external dependencies, launches, or anything that requires a counterparty in the last week.
