december (month)
December is the twelfth month of the Julian and Gregorian calendars, lasting for 31 days. In the Northern Hemisphere, December is the month of the winter solstice and in the Southern Hemisphere, the month of the summer solstice. It is named after the Latin term decem, meaning "ten", as the month was originally the tenth month of the Julian calendar. Its birthstones are tanzanite, turquoise, and zircon, and its flower is the narcissus.
