1. Problem Description

The problem presents the statement "John can count     \implies Christmas is in December". This is a conditional statement. We are not asked to solve any calculation; rather, it describes a logical implication.

2. Solution Steps

The given statement can be interpreted as: if John can count, then Christmas is in December. This is a logical statement. Since Christmas is always in December, regardless of whether John can count or not, the implication is true. The ability of John to count is irrelevant to whether or not Christmas is in December.

3. Final Answer

The statement "John can count     \implies Christmas is in December" is a true statement because Christmas is always in December. The ability for John to count has no bearing on the month in which Christmas occurs.
