In a month, but on a date.

I will see you in December.
I will see you on December 5th.

thank you very much for the replies guys....yes i'd got the date rule now but how about the place should i always use the word "on" in places or position...also how about on other nouns and situation...example: in english or on english, in bravery or on bravery...can i have more rules on the usage of that two...thanks in advance
