Christmas and December Christmas is not nearly as old as the month in'w'hich it falls. De cember was the last month in that old ten-month calendar of ancient Rome. The name comes from the Latin word, “decern,” meaning “ten.” In the beginning the month was known as Decembris, but dur ing the many centuries that fol lowed the name changed so that it now comes to us in its present form. The old Saxons, recognizing December as the beginning of win ter, called it Winter-Monath (winter month): They also called it He- ligh-Monath (holy month) because of the fact that Christmas fell on one of its days.—Pathfinder Maga zine.
