Fact of the Day: December

December's name come the Latin word "decem" which means tenth. In the old Roman calendar December was the tenth month of the year. Before January and February were added, the start of the year was a month-less period of winter.

    Because of all the craziness and good-natured fun associated with Christmas and New years, I don't mind the cold of December.
    Then...January, February, and March come along which prompts me to say...."Hey, WTF!!??"
