yea, thank you.That is why we have to be specific.That is to say,If we are talking about the same year so December comes after January.Whereas,it comes before January when we talk about the old and the new year.
i kept arguing with my colleagues about this and your specific answer mentioning the old and the new year was the evidence I am correct.
question in this way ,would be controversial if not specific
ex: December comes (before-after)January.
I consider both answers right.As the question is not specific In another words, It might mean the same year so the answer would be (after). It also might be the old and the new year so the answer would be (before).
