US Federal Holidays
The US has 11 federal holidays observed by the federal government, on which federal employees receive a paid day off. Banks, post offices, and many businesses follow the same schedule. When a holiday falls on a Saturday, it is typically observed on the preceding Friday; when it falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday.
How many days until Christmas?
Christmas is December 25th every year. Use the calculator above to see the exact countdown from today. In addition to the total days, the calculator shows the number of weekdays remaining (useful for planning work schedules), weekends (shopping days), and weeks left. The Holidays tab also shows the countdown for all major US holidays at once.

How do I calculate days until my birthday?
In the Countdown tab, enter this year's date for your birthday in the Target Date field and set the name to "My Birthday". If your birthday has already passed this year, enter next year's date instead. The calculator will show the exact number of days, weeks, hours, weekdays, and weekends until your birthday.
Why track weekdays and weekends separately?
Weekdays and weekends serve different planning purposes. Weekdays matter for work deadlines, shipping estimates (standard shipping doesn't include weekends), and business appointments. Weekends matter for leisure planning, events, and shopping. Knowing you have 45 days until a project deadline but only 32 weekdays tells you much more about how much working time you actually have.
How many shopping days until Christmas?
Shopping days are typically defined as the number of days (excluding Christmas Day itself) from today until December 24th. Most retailers and media use this count. Our calculator shows both the calendar days until December 25th and the weekday/weekend breakdown — weekends are especially valuable for in-person shopping. Use the Holidays tab to quickly see the Christmas countdown.
