December

December in the twelfth and final month of the calendar. It’s most famous for being the home of Christmas. Sorry to all you heathens, but you know it’s true. December is kind of a depressing month because you realize that the year is almost over. It is literally the darkest month of the year. It has the least amount of daylight of all the months in the Northern Hemisphere. The weather is the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere, so it’s Australian summertime. Those crazy Aussies have more daylight in December than any other month. December was originally the tenth month of the year. “Decem” means tenth in Latin. I guess they were too lazy to look up the Latin word for twelfth. It’s “dodeca.” December should really be called Dodecaber or Dodecber or something like that.  No wonder Latin is a dead language.

The Wrong Date

Putting down the wrong date is inevitable whenever a new year or month rolls around. It’s hard to get used to change. Just when you start getting used to jotting down the month, it changes and you have to remember the new one. You feel dumb when you get the month wrong, but it’s even worse when you get the year wrong and it’s not even January anymore. Just keep reminding yourself that it’s 2013 and you’ll get the hang of it.
