About
Ber Months is a slang term referring to memes about the months of September, October, November and December, called the "ber months" because each month ends with the suffix "-ber." The earliest known meme to reference these four months as the ber months was a Success Kid meme posted as early as September 2012. The memes became increasingly popularized throughout the 2020s, often experiencing a boost in virality around the first of September each year, marking the beginning of the ber months.
Origin
On September 1st, 2012, WordPress[1] user saychezzz made a post titled "'BER'ry CHRISTMAS." The article begins with a Success Kid meme reading, "Today marks the first day of the 'ber' season… Christmas!" The post reads, in part:
It’s a Saturday morning. Still, a weekend. Got up from bed, washed me face, brushed me teeth, grabbed a quick breakfast and then logged on to Facebook. Boom! Status updates about Christmas, Santa Claus, wish lists, December and even “Merry Christmas” greetings all came popping on my screen flooding my news feeds. And then it hit me, it’s the 1st of September. Yes, the very day that marks the beginning of the “BER” season. It shouldn’t really come as a surprise to me that this is one of the trending topics on Facebook and Twitter today.

Spread
