/* Month title */
.month {

  padding: 0;
}
.month ul li {
  color: white;
  font-size: 20px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  letter-spacing: 3px;
}
/* Previous month button within the month title */
.month .prev {
  float: left;
  padding-top: 10px;
}
/* Next month button */
.month .next {
  float: right;
  padding-top: 10px;

.weekdays {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 10px 0;
