Glad to hear I'm not the only one. A switch flipped in my brain once I realized this and now I routinely mix up October and August.

Would it really have been too much to ask that July and August come after December?!

  A: Because Oct. 31 = Dec. 25

July was renamed away from Quintilis ( the fifth month of the Roman calendar )

So yes, a bit much.
