How odd and even years work

A plan names the parent who has a holiday in odd-numbered years; the other has it in even years. Big holidays are often paired so each parent gets one: if Home A has Thanksgiving in odd years, Home B has Christmas Eve in odd years, and the next year they swap.

Mother's Day and Father's Day usually go to that parent every year, and the child's birthday is often split or alternated. Holidays usually take priority over the regular schedule and over summer time; the calendar puts them on top.

The windows used here

A Monday holiday's weekend runs Friday to Sunday night, back on Monday evening (Memorial Day, Labor Day); a Sunday holiday's runs Friday and Saturday nights, back on Sunday evening (Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day). Thanksgiving runs Wednesday to Saturday night. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, the Fourth of July and Halloween are the night itself. If your plan's times differ, add them as stretches.

Questions

What if our plan splits Christmas Day at noon?

Calendars count nights, so a noon handover shows as whoever has the night. Set Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to different homes to show the split, or add the exact hours as a note on your printed copy.

Does a holiday override summer?

Here, yes: holidays go on top of the regular schedule and the stretches you add, as most plans say. Check your own plan's order.

What prints?

Print it from the page and it prints exactly as you set it up, names included, on one Letter or A4 page. The PDFs are the example on this page. For a copy for each home and a month-by-month version with room to write, there's the packet.

2027 night by night

Home A has 183 nights (50.1%) and Home B 182 nights (49.9%), with 105 changeovers.
