Christmas countdowns are a household tradition. Kids check the page each morning to see how many days are left; advent calendars cover the same ground in chocolate form. This page is the digital equivalent: a live, ticking countdown to midnight on December 25, in your browser's local time zone. The countdown is recurring-yearly. Once Christmas Day passes, the page automatically rolls forward to the next December 25 — so the URL keeps working without anyone having to update it. Bookmark this page in November and it stays useful through the season; visit it in February and it'll show roughly 305 days until Christmas. The display is the same four-block layout used on the New Year page: days, hours, minutes, seconds, each in tabular numerals so the digits don't jitter as they tick. Use it as a kitchen-tablet page during Advent, project it onto a TV at a holiday party, or just keep it open on a second monitor for the festive atmosphere.

FAQ

What date does it count to?
December 25 at midnight, in your browser's local time.
What about Christmas Eve?
Those who celebrate on December 24 can still use this — it counts to Dec 25 00:00, which is right after Christmas Eve dinner in most observances.
Does it adjust for time zones?
Yes — it uses your browser's local clock, so a viewer in Tokyo sees a different number from one in New York.
When does it reset?
Immediately after midnight on December 25 it rolls forward to the next year.
