Countdown Calendar

I was wondering if there was anyway of incorporating a countdown calendar as a widget/ tile on a workspace.
Something simple like a timer starting at 365 days on Jan 1st and then counting down the number of days until Dec 31st.
Something like this could really instill the sense of urgency in some positional terms and tasks.
Maybe this sort of a timer could also be used for other divisions of times to suit for the needs of the task at hand.

  I am planning to implement workaround for Countdown and date/date-time arithmetic etc.
  Please let me know whoever is interested and I will invite to the workspace.

  First try for workaround is completed.
  Data entry of either one date or two dates is expected - which will create external link to calculate Since and Countdown and results like the following will be delivered by clicking external link.

  (1)
  Welcome
  Number of days since 01012015 till 12312015 = 364 days
  Countdown to 01012015 from 12312015 = -364 days

  (2)
  Welcome
  Number of days since 12312015 = -169 days
  Countdown to 12312015 from today = 169 days
