Does it work offline?
Yes. After loading once, the countdown continues working without internet. It uses your device's clock to calculate remaining time.
How many sleeps until Christmas?
The "Days" number in the countdown shows how many full days (and therefore nights/sleeps) remain until Christmas. This is a popular way for children to track the holiday's approach.
Is this countdown accurate across time zones?
The countdown uses your device's local time. Christmas arrives at midnight in your timezone, so the countdown reflects when you will celebrate. Users in earlier timezones will reach zero first.
Can I use this during Advent?
Absolutely! Many people use Christmas countdowns throughout the Advent season (the four weeks leading up to Christmas) to build anticipation for the holiday.
