About December
December comes from decem, Latin for ten, its place in the oldest Roman calendar, and it closes the year.
The December solstice, around the 21st, gives the Northern Hemisphere its shortest day and the south its longest. Christmas is on the 25th, Hanukkah often falls in December, and the month ends with New Year's Eve parties on the 31st. Turquoise is one of its birthstones.

About this count
Each midnight takes one off the 44. Today is left out and December 1 itself is counted, so on Monday, November 30 the page will show 1 day to go. US clocks go back on Sunday, November 1 along the way, which changes the hours but not the number of days.
In Excel or Google Sheets, =DATE(2026,12,1)-TODAY() gives the same 44 today; add 1 to count today as well.
This count to December 1, 2026 was worked out on Sunday, October 18, 2026 (US Eastern time), and your browser recounts it from your own date when the page opens.
