No sun—no moon! No morn—no noon— No dawn—no dusk—no proper time of day. No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member— No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds!— November! Thomas Hood
“December is the toughest month of the year. Others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, October, August, and February.” — Mark Twain
