December got its name from the Latin word decem (meaning ten) because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the calendar of Romulus c. 750 BC which began in March. The winter days following December were not included as part of any month.
Thanksgiving had been celebrated on the last Thursday of the month since the time of Abraham Lincoln. To restore some order, President Roosevelt moved the national holiday to the second-to-last Thursday of the month (a change that many were unhappy with).
October is the tenth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days.

Next Tuesday is the Tuesday of the week we'll be in after this one. This appears to be the most common usage, and makes most sense when you're trying to distinguish between imminent Tuesdays. They both refer to the same date; this (coming) Tuesday, which is the next Tuesday on the calendar from today.
Tomorrow (November 3) is Election Day for the U.S. Presidential Election 2020.

One tradition had it that Romulus named April after the goddess Aphrodite, who was born from the sea's foam (aphros in Ancient Greek). Aphrodite, known as Venus to the Romans, was the mother of Aeneas, who fled from Troy to Italy and founded the Roman race.
February is named after an ancient Roman festival of purification called Februa.

2021 is not a leap year and has 365 days like a common year. It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to orbit around the Sun. We usually round the days to 365 and to balance the missing partial days, we add one day to our calendar every four years.Feb 1, 2021
Because Romans believed even numbers to be unlucky, each month had an odd number of days, which alternated between 29 and 31. But, in order to reach 355 days, one month had to be an even number. February was chosen to be the unlucky month with 28 days.
Today is the day unlike any other. The reason behind this day being special is that it's a rare palindrome date which is taking place after almost 900 years. According to Oxford Dictionaries palindrome is defined as “a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward.â€
May comes after April. It comes before June. June is the sixth month of the year.
