"Il periodo va..." might be translated in English as either "The period runs..." or "The period lasts..."; as far as I am aware, we do not say "The period goes...". [UK Native speaker]
Because dicembre doesn't start with a vowel, so doesn't need 'ad' to sound better and distinguish it from the 'a'. For a more detailed description of this, see http://italian.about.com/od/grammar/a/aa091708a.htm

about the English word till: Until, till, and 'til are all used in modern English to denote when something will happen. Until and till are both standard, but what might be surprising is that till is the older word. 'Til, with one L, is an informal and poetic shortening of until. The form 'till, with an additional L, is rarely if ever used today.
