Best days for Sintra and Tomar

hi all- will be in Lisbon from Dec 19-24 (Friday-Tuesday) and am planning day trips on to Tomar and Sintra. I've read that people generally recommend Sintra for Monday since the weekends are extra crowded, is that true in late December as well? Also it doesn't seem like day of the week matters as much for Tomar, so was thinking of going there Saturday followed by Sintra on Monday. Does that all make sense or am I overthinking it? Thanks!

We took a trip to Sintra with a private guide when we went to Portugal. He told us before we even went that Sintra is more crowded on Mondays because many museums in Lisbon are closed on Mondays.
