My Name Is December 2

I am the youngest of 12, and I'm told that I bring lots of goodness and joy.
Perhaps you have already met my siblings because they've been around longer
I don't mean to be unkind, but the oldest is my sister Jan who is rather cold
My brother Feby is also on the chilly side, but he doesn't hang around very long.

My sister Marcy usually steps in and starts to warm things up a bit
April?  Why you can usually depend on her to spring into action
Our sister May is like a bridge enabling us to move to new climates
My sister April has a beautiful name, but please don't tell her that I like                                                              
the name June better even though my sister Julie and my brother August                                                          
tend to reside on the hot side of town. What's not to like about September,
as the syllables of her name role across your lips?  My brothers October and                                           
November like to change things, and they can be very stunning with their artistic displays of Fall.  However, sometimes they can be cold and stormy, creating havoc and destruction with their hurricanes.                                  

I'm like the final chapter in a 12 chapter book, and after reading about my 11 siblings, people can't wait to experience me to see how different I am from all the rest.  Finally, I'm not bragging and I could be mistaken, but I think that except for Jan because of new year celebrations, there is more celebration attached to me than for all my siblings combined. That's because of   Christmas and The Christ Child name Jesus.
