Not so short:
months = DateString[#, "MonthName"] & /@
Table[{2008, m}, {m, 12}]
{January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,\
November,December}
shortMonths = StringTake[#, 3] & /@ months
{Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec}
Needs["Calendar`"]
weekdays = ToString /@
Table[DayOfWeek[{2008, 11, d}], {d, 16, 22}]
{Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday}
shortWeekDays = StringTake[#, 3] & /@
weekdays
{Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat}

Is there a short Mathematica command to obtain a list of month names or
short month names in order, without having to type them all in by hand? And
same question for days of the week.
Thanks in advance.
