Chronic.parse('next friday', now: Date.new(2015, 11)).to_date
=> Sat, 07 Nov 2015

I expected Fri, 06 Nov 2015. Am I missing something?

Sounds like a timezone issue. When setting now you didn't specify a time zone, so I think it defaults to UTC. I bet it returned a date relative to your current time zone.
