The weekends before New Year's Eve
Here a weekend means a Saturday and the Sunday after it. A Saturday counts as soon as it is still ahead of you, so the weekend coming up next is number one.
The last weekend before New Year's Eve is Dec 26 and Dec 27. New Year's Eve is midweek this time, on a Thursday, so the nearest weekend is the one before it or the one after.
Long weekends on the way, from US federal holidays: Christmas Day weekend (Dec 25 to Dec 27).
