Why count in weeks?
Days are great for kids counting sleeps, but weeks are better for actually planning. You probably think about your life in weeks: paydays, shopping trips, work sprints. Breaking a holiday into a handful of weekly steps is how you avoid the classic night-before panic.

What comes first
Between now and then you'll pass 22 other dates on our list, including Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples' Day (Oct 12), Halloween (Oct 31), Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) (Nov 1), Daylight Saving Time Ends (Nov 1), Diwali (Nov 8), Veterans Day (Nov 11). If any of those also need shopping or travel, plan them together; it saves money and a lot of last-minute stress.
Paydays and budgeting
If you're paid every two weeks, you've got about 8 paychecks before Valentine's Day. Dividing your holiday budget by that number tells you how much to set aside each payday. For example, a $300 budget over 8 paychecks is about $38 each.
