Christmas countdown, day 1

The hint for the first advent gift of 2011 was that the giftees needed an official time keeper. Fighting the paper-ripping urge, they all quickly guessed a clock or stop watch.

What they found inside was a tree ornament that counts down the days, hours and minutes until the big day. So, now they are off ... only 23 days, 7 hours and 16 minutes to go. They only wish they could speed up time.
