The Saturnalia occurred in December, which explains the phrase of Horace "libertate Decembri utere." Mar tial applies to the month the epithet canes (hoary), and Ovid styles it gelidus (frosty) and fumosus (smoky). The Saxons called it winter-monath, winter month, and heligh-monath, holy month, from the fact that Christmas fell within it. Thus the modern Germans call it Christmonat. In December is the date of the winter solstice, when the sun reaches the tropic of Capri corn.
