I'm trying to make a countdown to christmas script on my own, but I just can't get how computers read the hour/minute/second, I got the month/day/year so far - xmas = new Date("December 25, 2003")
but what do I put for hours/minutes/seconds?
Thanks

P.S. My sig image isn't working

P.P.S. I'm a newb, obviously...
