What a holiday sheet is really printing
Eleven days are federal holidays under 5 U.S.C. 6103, and the same section says what to do when one meets a weekend: a Saturday holiday is observed the Friday before, a Sunday holiday the Monday after. That sentence is why a printed list of dates and a printed calendar are not the same object. The sheet works out both and marks both.
It opens on 2026, where one of the eleven moves — Independence Day is a Saturday, 4 July, and the observance is Friday 3 July. Change the year and the pattern changes with it. The dates are fixed or set by rule, but which of them land on a Saturday or a Sunday is a different question every year, and 2026, 2027 and 2028 each answer it differently.
Three months carry no federal holiday at all: March, April and August. On a twelve-month sheet those grids print clean, which is worth knowing before you decide the sheet has failed to draw something.
A day can be added or moved by proclamation. This sheet carries the statutory pattern and not any such announcement, and it is the national list rather than a statement of what a given workplace closes for or pays for.
Printing it
A4 measures 210 × 297 mm and Letter 8.5 × 11 inches; the PDF carries a real page box for either, so print at 100% rather than fit to page. A5 and A3 are on the same list, portrait or landscape, week starting Sunday or Monday, ruled lines optional.
The marking is black. Colour would be lost on most of the printers these sheets go to, and a mark nobody can see is not a mark. A twelve-month sheet marks the days but does not name them; a month to a page prints the names under the grid.
Two countries on the control
The holiday control offers the United States, South Africa, or nothing at all. Those two are the lists the site can compute, because each rests on a statute that states its own weekend rule in writing. Where no such rule exists the site would be guessing, and it does not.
