I feel like elisp (or org-mode) must have something like (days-until '2018-01-01) which would calculate the days between today and 2018-01-01. How would I go about implementing that?

  • This isn't about counting days that have passed since a certain date, but counting days to come until a certain date.

  • The distance between two points is the same, whether you start from the beginning or from the end. The difference between today looking back a day is 24 hours. The difference between yesterday and looking forward a day to today is 24 hours.

    Not sure for new year, but for Xmas it's easy, since when you use Emacs it's always Xmas.
