The dates in May 2026
The Monday-first version uses 5 rows; the Sunday-first version uses 6. Changing the first weekday changes the layout, while every event remains attached to its actual date.

Give the last Sunday its own place
May 31 falls on a Sunday. A Sunday-first layout needs a sixth row for that date, while Monday-first fits the month into five rows. Check the last row after switching week start; a different grid arrangement must not remove an event scheduled on May 31.
Optional U.S. federal holidays
These entries come from the reviewed 2026–2028 U.S. federal collection. Holiday dates and observed dates stay separate when they differ. The collection does not describe every school, state, local or business schedule.

Make the page useful on paper
At least one week-start choice needs six rows this month. Keep the final row and all its dates inside the paper margins. Check a busy cell and any event that continues across a row before choosing the final density.
Open this month in the editor before adding events. Choose the paper, orientation and week start on the same page, then download a fresh output after any change. Keep a JSON project backup if you want to revise the calendar later.
