December is the twelfth and last month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days. December begins (astrologically) with the sun in the sign of Sagittarius and ends in the sign of Capricorn. Astronomically speaking, the sun begins in the constellation of Ophiuchus, which is the only zodiacal constellation that is not counted as an astrological sign, and ends in the constellation of Sagittarius. The name is from the Latin ''decem'' for "10 (number)". December was the tenth month in the Roman calendar until a monthless winter period (summer in the southern hemisphere) was divided between January and February. In Japanese calendar, the month is called ''Shiwasu'' (師走). ==Events== * The United Nations has designated December 10 as Human Rights Day. * The solstice called the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere occurs around December 21. In the neopaganism wheel of the year the winter solstice is the time of Yule and the summer solstice is that of Litha. * Christmas is celebrated as a holiday in much of the western world and is a religious day, second in importance only to Easter for Christianity. The holiday, which occurs on December 25, celebrates the birth of Jesus. * In Ireland, December 26 is called St. Stephen's Day and is a public holiday. In the Irish calendar the month is called Mí na Nollag (literally "The Month of Christmas") and is the middle month of the Winter season. ==Trivia== *December always begins with the same day of the week as September. *December's flower is the holly. *December's birthstone is turquoise. ==Other names== *In Finnish language, December is called ''joulukuu'', meaning "month of Christmas", since about the 18th century.
