Thanksgiving Day where the screen is

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, so the date changes each year. This countdown works out the next one when the link is made, and uses the time zone of the screen it runs on, so every room counts to its own Thanksgiving midnight.

At zero the countdown is replaced by your message, and the fireworks background ends with a volley. The page asks the screen to stay awake, and the date, the text and the background all live in the link: nothing is stored on our servers and no account is needed.
