Fireworks, resolutions that quietly retire by February, and that one friend who falls asleep at 11:30. Here's how long until the next January 1.

January 1 is the one countdown almost everybody watches at the same moment. 🎉 Julius Caesar moved the start of the year to January in 45 BC, and most of the world still uses that date.
New Year's Eve is a relay race. Sydney finishes first, then the clock hands the baton west one time zone at a time until Hawaii closes it out 24 hours later.
- The ball in Times Square has been dropping since 1907, which makes it older than sliced bread.
- Resolutions tend to fade by February, so a live counter on the wall helps more than a list in a drawer.
- Counting up instead? Put in last January 1 and the timer will tell you how far into the year you already are. ⏳

Questions people ask
Does the counter use my time zone?
Yes. It counts to midnight where you are, so it is right whether you open it in Tokyo or Chicago.
Can I share this with friends abroad?
Send them the link. Each person sees the time left until their own midnight, not yours.
