Jack and Juliet remarked that the helicopter took off over a day ago.

The online Lost community has been keeping track of the dates since the begining. The fan calculated date has been confirmed, at least once that I know of, by the producers. I feel it's safe to say that it is the 96th day on the island.

Oh... In the last episode, Locke was cooking dinner for everyone in the village. It was Christmas dinner per the production staff.
