Other Ways to Determine How Many Days Until Thanksgiving
1. Online Calculators
Various websites offer online calculators that can help you determine the number of days until Thanksgiving. Just input the current date and the date of Thanksgiving, and the calculator will do the rest.
2. Manual Calculation
You can also manually calculate the days by counting the number of days remaining in each month until Thanksgiving. This method is straightforward but can be time-consuming.
3. Calculator Trick
Now here’s a fun option! Add the digits of today’s date (month, day, year) separately. If the sum is a single-digit number, subtract it from 9. If the sum is a double-digit number, add its digits together and subtract the final sum from 9. The result (always a single digit) corresponds to the remaining days in the current month (November being the 11th month would correspond to a result of 1). Add this number to 28 (Thanksgiving date) to get your approximate countdown.
(Note: This method is less precise for dates after the 20th of the month).
Example
| Step Description | Calculation | Example for June 13, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Breakdown of Today’s Date | Month: 06 Day: 13 Year: 24 |
Month: 06 Day: 13 |
| 2. Add the Digits Separately | 0 + 6 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 16 | Sum = 16 |
| 3. Check if the Sum is Single or Double | 16 (Double-digit) | Sum is double-digit |
| 4. Add digits of double-digit sum | 1 + 6 = 7 | Final sum = 7 |
| 5. Subtract final sum from 9 | 9 – 7 = 2 | Result = 2 |
| 6. Calculate Approx. Countdown to Thanksgiving | 28 (Thanksgiving date) + 2 (result) | Countdown = 30 days |
These methods do sound fun but there is always a chance for human error. To avoid any miscounting, just visit our countdown tool!
