December facts:
During the Roman calendar, December was the 10th month of the calendar. December got its name from the Latin word Decem, meaning ten. Many consider December 28th the unluckiest day of the year (if you did not receive your presents by then, you must have been on the naughty list and it’s probably not going to happen, so be good!). The winter solstice happens in December in the northern hemisphere, which is the shortest day of the year.
