It all depends on if you count the actual day your are on and they actual destination day (ie Dec 25). Everybody counts things differently.

Yep, it's one of those tech things.

Different countdown scripts handle the "days until" function differently--and it's all about the "partial day".

I don't know what Ginger's site uses, but ours is a day shorter, and the reason is that the default script adds, "and X hours, X minutes and X seconds" to the display. Moreover, the seconds and minutes change as you look at them.

I didn't like that result, as it was both cluttery to look at and slowed down the page load (ticking away each second), so I edited the script to show only the full day. That means we're one short .... so I guess I'll go edit it again and set the date a day forward.

That ought to get us both on the same page.
