How to use the christmas countdown
Use the automatic countdown to the start of December 25, or choose a time for your own Christmas Day plans. Switch the display between days, weeks and total hours, then copy a link for family or friends.
This page uses December 25 in the Gregorian calendar. Some communities celebrate Christmas on a different civil date; use the general countdown for that date. The celebration date is kept even if an employer observes a weekday off instead.
Does this count to Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
The default target is the start of Christmas Day, immediately after December 24 ends. Choose a custom time for Christmas morning. Use the general countdown for a gathering earlier on Christmas Eve.
How does this countdown keep time?
It uses TimeCubby's server-time synchronization and advances locally between checks. The synchronization status tells you when NTP is unavailable or the connection is stale. Time-zone conversion uses your browser's time-zone rules; keep the browser updated. A one-time event link preserves its exact instant. Holiday, recurring and New Year setups calculate their next dates from the rules you chose.
Will I receive a reminder?
No email or push reminder is sent. An optional sound can play when a visible, open page crosses a target. It cannot be relied on when the browser is closed, the device sleeps or sound is blocked. Calendar export creates 30-minute markers; review their duration and reminder settings in your calendar. Recurring exports contain only the previewed dates.
