December is the twelfth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar,

even though its name suggests otherwise. Decem is Latin for “ten,”

hearkening back to when December was the tenth month. When January

and February were added, December became the last month of the year.

December has the shortest daylight hours of the year in the northern

hemisphere and the longest daylight hours of the year in the southern

hemisphere.
