How many days until 1 December?
The big number at the top of the page is the answer: the whole days left until 1 December, today excluded. On 30 November you'll read "1 day"; on 1 December it becomes "It's today!". Under the days runs the line with hours, minutes and seconds, ending at the midnight that starts the month.
The Advent calendar
The Advent calendar runs from 1 to 24 December: 24 doors, one a day, until Christmas Eve. If you're making one at home — chocolates, notes, small gifts — the days shown above are the ones you have left to finish it. Liturgical Advent instead begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, so between 27 November and 3 December.
