## What is Easter Countdown?

While listening to music (built-in or your own), see the number of days countdown until Easter.   Watch the animated characters get bigger as Easter gets closer displayed on the included background images or use your own picture.   

Get ready for Easter!

• See the animated characters grow to full size and then shrink back down based on the number of days left until Easter.  The closer the date gets to Easter, the bigger the character will grow.  The character will then move off the screen in multiple patterns.

• Select one of 5 background musical soundtracks.  Select one or automatically play all the songs in a repeating sequence.  Select Airplay to play the music to your Apple TV.

• Pick music from your own music library. The title and album art of the playing song are displayed.

• Animated characters include a colorful egg, a chocolate egg, and a bunny

### 5/5 — Choc love

*2021-04-08, version 3.4*

I have been loving and more than loving waking up to be in chocolate heaven at depence on what time i wake up before 6 or 7 am. It's my most favourite time of every year to be in awe in with excitement in the earliest it can be, i have loved it ever since and i more than love it because i get to be too busy to go out sonehwere for holidays in the Easter holidays because i get eat on Easter instead which is my preference at home. I want Easter to be in every month mostly on my birthday turning 19 years old of age so i will get to eat lots and lots and lots and lots of Easter choc as my birthday present on my birthday turning 19.
