Thanksgiving Countdown
How long until Thanksgiving? The countdown always shows the next date, so you can leave this page open.
How it works
The page counts down live to the date shown above, in days, hours, minutes and seconds. It also tells you the number of days, weeks and "sleeps" left, which children like. Use Fullscreen to show it on a screen or projector.
Thanksgiving dates
