December: the "tenth" month and end of a long year

It is so incredibly fitting that the holiday season comes at the end of the year.

Think about it? Wouldn’t you want to end the year on a high note? Celebrating with family and friends?

If the world isn’t weird enough with all this talk of such strange words such as iPads, Nexus’ and Kindles in the air, as you know from your days studying Latin, decem doesn’t actually mean 12.

It means 10.

Whoops, what’s going on there?

According to the Roman Calendar, December was the tenth month until a monthless winter period was added between January and February.

I guess it’s better than the Mayan Calendar which calls for…well, you know. According to them, you wouldn’t have to worry about winter next year, or any year for that matter.

(Turns out the Mayans did not think the world would end on 12/21/12. They knew their calendar ended then but they made a reminder on their ancient to-do list to renew it.)
So we’re all still going to be here and that’s certainly a reason to cheer

From our family at Home Junction Inc. to yours, we wish all of you a Happy Holiday.

Enjoy it. You earned it.
