Answer:

1. The protagonist of "The Giver" is Jonas. 2. The month of December is important because it is the time when the Ceremony of Twelve takes place, where Twelve-year-olds are assigned their careers/roles in the community. 3. The protagonist's best friend is named Asher. 4. The protagonist lives with his Father, Mother, and sister Lily. 5. The name of the baby that the father brought home is Gabriel. 6. It is very hard for a rule to be changed in the community because the society values Sameness and conformity; changes are met with hesitation as they could disrupt order and efficiency. 7. The most important Elder is the Chief Elder, who presides over ceremonies and represents the authority of the community. 8. You mentioned "hot ceremony," which might be a typographical error. Assuming you meant "what ceremony," the last ceremony in this community is the Ceremony of Release to Elsewhere, which is considered a grave matter and is not celebrated like the others.
