Print month names into the view in Rails

I need to create a ul>li list of month names in rails from Jan to Dec. 

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
      <li><a href="#">Jan</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Feb</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Mar</a></li>
      ...
</ul>

So I'm thinking of going through a simple 1..12 loop, but I can't seem to find what method actually gets me these names! Thanks

You can get month names in 

 Date::ABBR_MONTHNAMES.dup.slice(1,12)

assign them in array and loop through

EDIT
controller

months = Date::ABBR_MONTHNAMES.dup.slice(1,12)

view

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<% months.each do |month| %>
  <li><a href="#"><%= month %></a></li>
<% end %>

</ul>
