Fixed Dates vs Moving Dates
Fixed days fall on the same date every year: New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Earth Day, Halloween, Veterans Day and Christmas. Only the weekday changes.
Weekday rule days move a little each year because they are tied to a weekday. MLK Day is the third Monday of January, US Mother's Day the second Sunday of May, Father's Day the third Sunday of June and Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday of November.
Moon-based days move the most. Easter follows the first full moon after the spring equinox, so UK Mother's Day and Good Friday move with it. Chinese New Year, Hanukkah and Diwali follow lunisolar calendars, and Eid follows the purely lunar Islamic calendar, moving about 11 days earlier every year.
How to Use This Calendar
- Plan posts early. Save this page and mark the days your audience cares about. Big days like Valentine's, Mother's Day and Christmas need content ready a week before.
- Send cards and messages on time. UK and US Mother's Day are two months apart in 2027 (7 March and 9 May), so friends abroad need separate reminders.
- Write social captions ahead. Weekend days like Valentine's Day, Super Bowl Sunday and Halloween get the most posts; schedule yours the night before.
- Check moving dates. Always confirm Eid and other moon-based days locally a few days before.
