December is a month of joy and celebrations. It brings special holidays like Christmas, where families decorate trees and share gifts, and Hanukkah, a festival of lights. It also marks the start of winter. Snow starts to fall, turning everything into a beautiful white wonderland. It's time for making snowmen, having snowball fights, and sipping hot cocoa!
