celebración con cuenta/conteo regresiva/regresivo Explanation: Me da la impresión que puede tratarse de una fiesta de año nuevo, donde el conteo regresivo se haría para esperar la llegada del año 2001. |

"countdown" es cuenta atrás. Explanation: Se me ocurre que se trata de una fiesta de Añonuevo o algo parecido (al 2001, el milenio). |

Fiesta de Año Nuevo, cuenta atrás, fiesta de presentación, Explanation: Lo más probable es que se refiera a una celebración de fin de año. En muchas partes, como por ejemplo México, se da por hecho que un fiesta de Año Nuevo en un restaurante incluye, además de la cena, una cuenta atrás con fuegos pirotécnicos, campanadas, uvas, música, gorritos, serpentinas o algo así. A eso se refiere 'countdown celebration' cuando se trata de un Año Nuevo: «... The celebration will conclude with a grand New Year's Eve countdown celebration with lights, music and fireworks. ... www» ref 1 'Countdown celebration' también se refiere a una celebración o un periodo de celebración en la cuenta atrás de algún acontecimiento, que puede ser desde un evento deportivo, como en la referencia siguiente, hasta un concierto, una inaguración, etc. «Hundreds of people descended on Southampton's Ocean Village for a special two-day festival as the countdown for the BT Global Challenge really began.» ref 2 Reference: http://www.morningstardesign.com/FN2K1/about.htm Reference: http://www.btchallenge.com/news/2000/09/News_471.html |

See below Explanation: Making a search on google.com, I have found a page in which you can send countdown celebration cards. These are some sort of electronic greeting cards you send someone either some days before an important event takes place or to remind someone something important is due. Such email cards include animations and music, and one could also think that both music and movement form a message along with a funny sentence. If you want to find more about it, I think it will be helpful to visit the following site: http://funnyemailcards.com/millenium_cards_y2k_countdown_cel... On the other hand, I would propose: tarjetas de felicitación electrónicas / email de felicitación. / felicitación virtual... I am sure you can figure out a better one which perfectly fits into your context. Regards, Pau. |
