I hope this table comes out OK.

The cooling in December is interesting, and not just as a result of
2010!

I am seeing something quite similar. Every decade, I compare (using
CET) the 30 year and 10 year everages. This gives an idea how average
temperatures of the last decade compare with those of the last 30
years, and could be an early indication of trends.

Comparing 2001-2010 with 1981-2010 gives the following for each month:

January +0.37C
February +0.91C
March +0.58C
April +0.49c
May +0.29C
June +0.22C
July +0.37C
August +0.79C
Sepetember +0.38C
October +0.38C
November +0.78C
December -0.20C

You will notive that December is the only month that appears to be
getting cooler. All of the others are warming.
