 Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat, Please put a penny in the old man’s hat; If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny will do, If you haven’t got a ha’penny, God bless you! —Beggar’s rhyme.

December comes from the Latin word decem, meaning “ten” because this was the tenth month of the early Roman calendar.
