About January
January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doorways, gates and beginnings, usually carved with two faces so he could look back at the old year and ahead to the new one. The Romans started their civil year on January 1 from 153 BC, the day newly elected consuls took office.
For most of the US, Canada and Europe it's the coldest stretch of winter, while Australia and New Zealand are in high summer and schools there are on their long break. The month's birthstone is garnet.

About this count
Each midnight takes one off the 75. Today is left out and January 1 itself is counted, so on Thursday, December 31 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(2027,1,1)-TODAY() gives the same 75 today; add 1 to count today as well.
This count to January 1, 2027 was worked out on Sunday, October 18, 2026 (US Eastern time), and your browser recounts it from your own date when the page opens.
