How the countdown works
We create December 24 at 00:00 in your local timezone for this year. If that moment has already passed, we roll to December 24 next year.
All calculations use your device clock and local timezone, so the countdown hits zero exactly when December 24 starts where you are.
Remaining milliseconds are converted to days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Values never go negative and update every second.
Leap years are handled automatically by the calendar — the interval from December 24 to next December 24 is 365 or 366 days as appropriate.
If today is after December 24, the timer counts toward next year’s December 24 and shows how many days ago the last one occurred.
The timer is scoped to this component, accessible, and works on mobile without external libraries.
