The last four months of the year, September, October, November and December are usually refered to as EMBER months.

These months represents a period when people are much more careful due to some imminent dangers associated with it.

It is also a period when people wants to 'make it' so as to show off their short time achievement during the festive season especially in the month of December by doubling their hustles.

But the question that comes to mind is, is the month of October really an ember month? Judging from the fact that the month did not in any way end with the letters e-m-b-e-r like the other three months in the group but o-b-e-r.

I dont think it should be in that group. What do you think or somebody should lecture me on why I should think otherwise.

Ember months start in september, so, yes it is.

Yes I agree with you that ember months start in september and ends in december.

But why are they all refered to as ember months when october dont so much sound like the others.

Same question I just asked people now.

Everyone is wishing me a happy beginning of the ember months

And I'm wondering how October falls into this category

The only thing Octo ber has in common with Septem ber, Novem ber and Decem ber is "ber"

The only months that end with "ember" are Sept ember, Nov ember and Dec ember.

Cc lalasticlala, Seun.. Let's put this up for debate.
