December is here.
A month with shorter days and longer evenings and nights. Of wind howling in the darkness and a cold winter beginning.
But also a month of silence in a snowy landscape, of warmth that you share with family and friends during Christmas and of looking back on the past year and making plans for the next.
To help you with this, I would like to share 75 December quotes.
The ones that will inspire you, the ones that will make you laugh and hopefully relieve some end-of-year stress and the ones that can just help us appreciate the beauty of this month a little more.
