"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
