December is most definitely the best month. You have happy snowmen being made, long breaks from school, mandarin oranges, my birthday, Jesus's birthday, Santa-times, and Jimmy Buffet's birthday. There is no denying that it reigns supreme over all other months.
December facts:
December 5 is Sinterklaas in the Netherlands, from what I can gather, it is rather like Christmas here, (but not) and instead of stockings, he fills up your shoes (which you have to leave outside) with treats and small presents.
December has it's own flower Holly, and Pointsetta. That's right December is so awesome it has two flowers.
Festivus is on December 23. Festivus: the holiday for the rest of us! It involves the annual airing of grievances, then the festivus feast followed by the feats of strength, this is where you have to wrestle with the head of the household and the holiday is only over once this has occured... There is also a festivus pole.
Frank Sinatra's birthday on December 12. Frank married 4 super gorgeous women, with Ava Gardner definitely being the love of his life. He had three kids, one of which sung that really annoying boots song. And when he died, the lights on the Vegas strip were dimmed in his honour.

Sinterklaas! haha when i was a kid my Beppe, grandma, taught me about him! So much cooler than Santa.
ReplyDeleteHe lives in Spain. Instead of elves he's got a little black boy. and you don't leave him cookies, you leave his horse a carrot. Oh and you save the biggest present for last, but disguise it like it's a crap present. My Oma used to wrap up bricks or mittens but hide money in them.
