November 2026 Calendar, Landscape
November turned on its side, so every day box is about twice as wide as it is tall. Print this Letter landscape sheet when a single date holds three things and you want to write all three of them in.

November 2026 Calendar, Monday Start
November with the week opened on Monday, so Saturday and Sunday sit together at the end of the row. The layout most of Europe reads, and the one that lets a working week run straight across the page.

Pastel November with a weekly notes column on Letter paper: seven day columns plus an eighth ruled twice for lists that belong to the week.

November 2026 Calendar for A4 Paper
November 2026 drawn at true A4 dimensions rather than shrunk down from US Letter, so the grid keeps its full width and you can stop ticking "fit to page" every time you print it.

The pastel November rebuilt at A4 size, for the kitchen printer in Madrid, Buenos Aires or Manchester that has never had a sheet of US Letter put through it.

November 2026 Calendar, Binder Insert
November with an empty gutter down the left edge and the three punch positions drawn inside it, so a hole punch can never take a bite out of a marked holiday. Print, punch, and it drops into a ring binder.

November 2026 and December 2026 on One Page
November 2026 above, December 2026 below, both dated, both marked with their holidays and both big enough to write in. Planning always spills into the next month, and this sheet shows the spill.

The fourth Thursday of November
Thanksgiving has been fixed on the fourth Thursday of November since 1941. In 2026 that is November 26. Most workplaces close on Thursday and many also on Friday, making it the biggest travel week of the year in the United States, with Black Friday the day after.
Print a November Letter calendar above to plan the menu, guests and travel days. Landscape sheets give wider boxes for travel notes; lined and notes column sheets keep lists readable; Monday start matches a work week. The full month page is the November 2026 calendar.
How early to plan the week
Start at the beginning of November. Mark who is hosting, travel days and school closures, then the shopping trip and thaw day. Use the last week of the month to sketch December on the December calendar or the two month sheet that pairs both months.
Federal holidays around Thanksgiving
Veterans Day on November 11 and Thanksgiving itself are both US federal holidays. For the full 2027 list with observed dates, see US federal holidays 2027. The 2027 year calendar shows the whole year at a glance.
