I can't recall _ever_ reading or hearing "fall" defined as including
December, in the US.
It may be relevant that I grew up in the Hudson Valley, and currently
live in Minneapolis. However, I've also lived in Los Angeles.
Oops. Thanks for the comment/correction. Actually a more relevant fact
than your upbringing here is that I am careless typist. The OED had
said "Sept to Nov" and that is what I meant to agree with in my
posting. Nope. I agree, Dec isn't part of fall where I'm from
(Tennessee) either.
