How the date is calculated

It's Calendar does not hand-edit a single year’s spreadsheet. Christmas Eve is resolved from the same holiday engine that powers the 2026 holidays list and the US Holidays Marked monthly templates — fixed calendar dates, nth-weekday rules, or Easter-based offsets depending on the observance.
