December heralds the arrival of colder weather, prompting people to bring out their cozy garments and cook up hearty dishes, especially soul-warming soups. While it's a quieter time in terms of Hindu festivals, December holds significance with Christmas and the anticipation of New Year's Eve. This period is marked by bustling Christmas shopping, social gatherings, planning for the upcoming year, and the customary making of New Year's resolutions.
