How Many Work Days Are Left Until Christmas?
While it’s exciting to count down the days until Christmas, it’s important to note that this calculation does not take into account holidays that may fall on weekdays, such as Thanksgiving. So, if you have holidays during this period where you don’t work, you will need to adjust the countdown accordingly.
How To Calculate the Days Until Christmas
If you’re curious about the number of days remaining until Christmas (12/25), there are a few ways to calculate it. Let’s explore some methods:
Method One: Calculate the Days Manually
If the current date falls in December, you can simply subtract the current day of the month from 25 to find the number of days remaining until Christmas.
days until 12/25 = 25 - current day in December
However, if the current date is not in December, you can follow a more comprehensive approach. Subtract the current day of the month from the total number of days in the current month to find the remaining days in that month. Then, add the number of days in each month before December, and finally, add 25 for the number of days in December.
days until 12/25 = days left in the current month + days in next month + ... + 25
Method Two: How To Calculate the Days Using Google Sheets
If you prefer using spreadsheet software like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, you can leverage a few different formulas to calculate the number of days remaining until 12/25.
From the Current Date
To find the number of days remaining from the current day, you can use the following function in a cell:
=DATE(2024, 12, 25) - TODAY()
Note that once you type this formula into a cell and hit Enter, it will calculate and display the number of days remaining.
From Any Date
If you want to find the number of days remaining from a specific date listed in another cell (let’s say cell A1), you can use this function:
=DATE(2024, 12, 25) - A1
