December fun facts
December is the twelfth and last month of the year on our calendar. The name of this month comes from the Latin word decem for "ten", it was the tenth month of the year in the Roman calendar before January and February were added. December always begins on the same day of the week as September and ends on the same day of the week as April. December's flower is the narcissus, which produces flowers in this month. Its birthstone is turquoise. The meaning of turquoise is prosperity.
In mainly Christian countries, December is dominated by Christmas, which is celebrated on December 25 in most of those countries, though for example in Russia they celebrate it on January 7.
At the beginning of December, the season of Advent starts. The word Advent means 'coming' because it's a time of preparation for the coming holiday of Christmas.
In the past, people believed in some strange things in connection with Christmas. For example, they believed that a child born on Christmas Day will have a special fortune but wearing new shoes on Christmas Day will bring bad luck. And they said if you take a candle to church at Christmas don't bring it home, but leave it there for good luck.
