December 2014 classes

December ... the 12th and FINAL month of the year. 2014 has flown by, I can't believe that very shortly it will be 2015, can you?

What memorable things have you done in 2014?

December is a month where many things happen and of course everywhere you turn you are reminded about Christmas and winter.
