Holiday order-by dates — Hanukkah and Christmas 2026
A Word Of You dictionary puts their photo beside the one word that describes them — Beautiful, Amazing, Handsome, Kind — inside a real 343-page book. Softcover is $39. Hardcover is $49.
Every book is made to order, so shipping time includes printing. From Friday, September 4, 2026, here are honest order-by windows for both holidays. Hanukkah arrives first, so plan that gift sooner.
Hanukkah 2026 — sundown December 4–12
First night is Friday, December 4. To have the book there for the start of Hanukkah:
- Express — 8–10 days, $21.99. Order by about November 24–26 to arrive by December 4. Use the earlier date (November 24) if you need the full 10-day buffer.
- Standard — 13–16 days, $5.99. Order by about November 18–21. November 18 is the safer cutoff if shipping takes the full 16 days. We do not promise a December 4 arrival on standard if you order later than that.
Christmas 2026 — Friday, December 25
Christmas is the larger gift volume date. To arrive by December 25:
- Express — 8–10 days, $21.99. Order by about December 15–17. December 15 is the safer cutoff for a 10-day Express window.
- Standard — 13–16 days, $5.99. Order by about December 9–12. December 9 is the safer cutoff if shipping takes the full 16 days. We do not promise a Christmas arrival on standard if you order later than that.
You can ship the book straight to them. Add a dedication inside if you want the first pages to be from you.
