How much do you know about DECEMBER?

The 12^th and final month of the year in our modern-day Gregorian Calendar. However, did you know it was originally the 10^th month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC. Hence, December comes from the Latin word decem, meaning “ten”.  Later, the months of January and February were created out of the monthless period and added to the beginning of the calendar, but December retained its name.

Born in December are considered special, according to science. They are either Sagittarius or Capricorn. Sagittarians are known to be extremely generous, idealistic, and downright hilarious.

Five (5) scientifically proven benefits of being born during the holiday season: –

1. They are more likely to live longer – higher chances of living up to the age of 105, or even longer.
2. They are less irritable – being born in winter months, showed fewer temper tantrums which means they are nicer people.
3. They are pretty healthy – have a lower risk of developing major health conditions, including cardiovascular disease.
4. They are a morning person – though there are plentiful ones born in other months, born in December tend to follow this golden rule – Early to Bed, and Early to Rise.
5. They are Rare – it’s a fact that babies are considered rare, especially if they are born on Christmas Day, December 25, making it more special.

On behalf of SilverHairsClub – we would like to wish those SHCians born to this month a wonderful HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

PS – do drop a line or 2 to greet them a joyous month!
