In Japan, we sometimes call December "Shiwasu".
If I write it with Kanji, it's like this "師走".
Shi し（師） means the monk of Budhism.
Wasu わす（走） means "running".
So, this word means "the monk is running."
All people are busy in December. So, even the monks
run from place to place in December.
This word "Shiwasu" shows the busyness of Japanese
life in December.
