December

noun dee-SYEHM-breh Common

Diciembre is masculine, like all months in Spanish — the seed listed it as feminine, which is incorrect. Months are not capitalised: en diciembre (in December). A principios/mediados/finales de diciembre are natural phrases for 'at the beginning/middle/end of December'.

Examples

"La Navidad se celebra en diciembre."

Christmas is celebrated in December.
