Something like this should do what you want. It's more pseudo code, you'll have to edit it to work for your project.
if(curMonth == "December" || curMonth == "12"){
//Do something
} else {
//Output error window
System.exit
}

Java requires .equals for string comparison. So it would be:
if(curMonth.equals("December"))

I just used this and it seems to work; set to 10 at the moment as it wouldnt not work otherwise
import java.util.Calendar;
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
if (month == 10) //meant to be 11 set to 10 to work
{
System.out.print("Welcome to...");
}
else
{
System.out.print("Not december!");
System.exit(0);

if (month == 10) //meant to be 11 set to 10 to work
It's probably because the months are sorted in an array. As you should know, arrays start at 0 so it probably starts at 0 being January through to 11 being December. So it should be 11 in your if statement I believe?
Other than that, good to see you've got it working
