We just call it December, but northern plains
tribes had more descriptive names, like: Moon of Popping Trees (Northern Arapaho),
Winter Moon (Shoshone), Moon When the Deer Shed their Antlers (Lakota), and When
the Wolves Run Together (Cheyenne). Other Native Americans called it Long Night
Moon or Cold Moon.
If I were to rename December, I’d call it the Cows
Gently Rounding Moon because this is the month that the cows begin to look
pregnant.
There’s been some “gently rounding” on my part
as well, due to excess fudge and Christmas cookies, which is why I’m headed
outdoors for a walk as soon as this is posted!
