Default Format Date along with Text

Cell A1 contains the date: December 31, 2008
I want cell A2 to display "Dec Before"
I tried =A1&" Before" which returned: 39813 Before
I tried =(MONTH(A1))&" Before" which returned: 12 Before
I can format the date as Dec just fine until I add the &" Before" to it.
When I add the &" Before" in the formula it forces the Dec to read as 12. How
do I force the 12 back to read Dec?
