December starts on the same day of the week as September starts every year, and ends on the same day of the week as April ends every year.

December is associated with Christmas in many countries. There are Christmas decorations, sales, musicals, and parties. Many people spend their time Christmas shopping. As a result, a lot of people have time off work around Christmas and before New Year’s Eve.

Common decorations on a Christmas tree each have their specific meanings. Candles – the light of the world, the Star at the top is a reminder of the first Christmas night and candy canes are to represent the shepherd’s cane.

There are fewer daylight hours in December in the northern hemisphere than in any other month.

Nobel Prizes are awarded on December 10th on the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death.

The first day of winter is on either December 21st or 22nd. This is the shortest day of the year and the longest night. It is called the winter or Southern solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
