The December Full Moon has many names:
Oak Moon, Snow Moon, Frost Moon, Blood Moon, Cold Moon, Wolf Moon, Long Nights' Moon, Moon before Yule, Moon of Long Nights, Big Winter Moon, Moon of Popping Trees.


Since I work nights, I'll be able to check it out once I'm making a gasoline delivery. Tonight should be the waxing of the full moon and tomorrow should be the full moon.

And since the full moon is occurring so close to the Solstice, tonight's, or tomorrow's, full moon will have the longest transit time across the sky of any full moon of the year. I need to check on that.

N E Who. Get some eggnog, put on a coat, and check it out.

I suspected the Full Moon would be coming pretty soon... I always get restless and have trouble sleeping on the first day or two right before and right after a full moon...

Wolf Moon? Blood Moon?

Anyone think this might be the werewolf section of the holidays?

Yes, those names are kind of strange. I didn't make it up. Found the info here.
