Overview
December (12月, jūnigatsu, lit. "twelfth month") is the twelfth and last month of the in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It is said to be the busiest day of the year.
For children, it is a very joyful month because of Christmas and the end of the year, but for adults, it is also the month of hell because of the busyness of work, year-end parties, and the breakdown of electrical appliances.
The main reasons for the high number of machine breakdowns in December are that this month tends to accumulate static electricity and that many electrical appliances are purchased in December due to the bonus payments.
