  Howdy,

  Sure thing. You can follow these instructions to schedule a post in the future — http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/ — except put a past date.

  Please note, though, if you do this for a post that has already been published, the link to the post will change (e.g. a post already published at http://example.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/example-christmas-post that is changed to December 25th will change to http://example.wordpress.com/2013/12/25/example-christmas-post) and existing links to that post won’t work.

  If you have any questions or need anything else, please let me know. Cheers!
