Fun fact: back in the early days of Roman legend the calendar had ten months and they just sort of suspended it over winter and started again in the spring. This is also why September, October, November and December are in the wrong places, numerically speaking: they used to actually be the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th months before Ianuarius and Februarius got added.
