using System;

class Program
{
    //
    // ---------------------------------------------------------
    // Function: DaysUntilChristmas
    // Purpose : Calculate how many days remain until Christmas.
    // ---------------------------------------------------------
    //
    static int DaysUntilChristmas()
    {
        // Get today's date from the system
        DateTime today = DateTime.Today;

        // Extract the current year
        int year = today.Year;

        // Build a date for Christmas of the current year
        DateTime christmas = new DateTime(year, 12, 25);

        // If Christmas already passed this year, calculate for next year
        if (today > christmas) {
            christmas = new DateTime(year + 1, 12, 25);
        }

        // Calculate difference in days between today and Christmas
        int days = (int)(christmas - today).TotalDays;

        return days;
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        int days = DaysUntilChristmas();
        
        Console.WriteLine("Days until Christmas: " + days);
    }
}
