How the countdown timers are worked out

Fixed dates such as Christmas are simple, but Easter follows the moon and Mother's and Father's Day depend on the country. Each page works out the date for the right year from the rule itself, so the countdown is correct for any year without a lookup table that needs updating.

Days, sleeps and weeks

Every countdown shows whole days, a live days-hours-minutes-seconds clock, the same gap as weeks and days, and the number of sleeps, which is the count children care about: the nights left before the day arrives. Leave the start date blank to count from today.
