About Us
Discover who we are, our editorial standards, and why we build tools for the holiday countdown.
Who We Are
How Many Days Until Christmas is a Christmas countdown and information hub built for families, planners, and anyone who loves the holiday season. We created this site because the question "how many days until Christmas?" deserves more than a bare number on a calculator page — it deserves context, planning tools, and the kind of depth that makes the countdown itself part of the celebration.
The site is owned and operated by Clara Sterling, based in Seattle, Washington, United States.
What We Do
We maintain a live Christmas countdown that updates every second in your local time zone, along with a growing library of Christmas content covering:
- Countdown tools — days, weeks, months, sleeps, weekday counts, and custom date calculators.
- Christmas dates — when Christmas falls each year, day-of-week references, and year-specific planning guides.
- Christmas knowledge — history, traditions, facts, and culture from around the world.
- Planning resources — key dates, shipping deadlines, school break timing, and preparation guides.
Every page is researched, fact-checked against primary sources, and reviewed for accuracy before publishing.
Our Standards
We follow a set of editorial principles that apply to everything on this site:
No Fabricated Information
We never invent statistics, reviews, testimonials, or social proof. Every factual claim is sourced and verified against authoritative archives.
AI-assisted, Human-edited
We use AI tools to help with research and drafting, but every page is reviewed, factual claims verified, and copy edited by a real person before it goes live. We disclose this because we believe in transparency.
Regular Updates
Dates, deadlines, and planning information are refreshed with genuine new content and numbers — never just a date stamp change to fake freshness.
Privacy-first Countdown
Our countdown tool runs entirely in your browser using your local device time. We do not track your location or collect personal data to show you the time.
