Many people are sharing the message: December 2018 has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, is the most special month of the year.
December has come. And right on the first day of December, netizens have been racing to share an interesting information, that this is a very special month when there are 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays.

Also according to the information shared, this is something that will not be repeated for 823 years, and is known by the Chinese as “full pocket money”.
But what about the truth? Is this event really that special, when it happens only once in a millennium?
First of all, it is important to know that the photo shared by many people is actually not in accordance with the standard December calendar , or at least December 2018. In December 2018 there are 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, and 5 Mondays, not Fridays.
The base of the month with the same arrangement as the picture above is December 2017.
However, even if the arrangement is real, it is nothing special. Actually in 31-day months, the first 3 days will always repeat 5 times. That means every month has 31 days and the first day of the month falls on a Friday, then we will have a combination of 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays in that month.
Regarding the information that repeats every 823 years, this is also completely fabricated . The proof is that if the calendar year of 2017 is compared with the other special December, the December of 1194 must be the same. However, the 3 days that repeat 5 times of 12/1194 are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Furthermore, December 2006 is also a month that begins with a Friday. Meaning, this event is much more common than we think.
At this point, we can conclude that the sharing message is just a fabrication to attract users to share . Be very careful, because not everything that is spread is true.
