		gregmac on Sept 23, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Show HN: How many days until? Agreed, though interestingly, http://days.to/christmas does work. There's also a /since/ for each one. A simple fix, use days.to/next/christmas and days.to/last/christmas. Clean URLs, and they make grammatical sense.

Yes, you discovered quite a few of the "hidden" urls - also /when-is/.

Originally, the site had exactly as you described with a cleaner url, but SEO had different ideas.
