Thoughts on Asking for a month off before starting a new job?

I just received a verbal lateral offer to start as an Analyst with the details set to be worked out next week. I'm kind of anxious about asking to join earliest in December? What have yall's experience been like asking for a month (instead of the standard 2 weeks) before lateraling over?

Did they indicate when they expect you to start? I imagine if they were hiring, they probably need bodies, but I don't know. How would you feel if you were in the MDs shoes? Doesn't seem like a great idea, but maybe they won't care. Also, starting in December - isn't that really like starting in January, since things might be really slow last two weeks of December?
