I never discussed the Christmas Full Moon. "On Dancer, on Dasher, on Prancer and Vixon. On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen...."
A full moon on Christmas Eve is iconic to the holiday with Santa, his sleigh and reindeer silhouetted against that bright object in the sky. It was nice to have a chance to have a full moon on Christmas this year.
The full moon gave NORAD a break, too.
The "Daily Mail" had their usual graphic article about the sensational parts of life. Thank you to the "Daily Mail."

Stargazers will be given (click here) a rare treat this Christmas day as the final full moon of the year peaks on 25 December.
The last time a full moon dawned in the skies on Christmas was in 1977, and the event won't happen again until 2034.
December's
full moon is called the Full Cold Moon because it occurs during the
beginning of winter and it will peak at 06.11 EST....
