This December we get a special celestial treat, with the Full Moon taking place on Christmas Day.
To put that in perspective, it has been 38 years since the Full Cold Moon of December has fallen on this date, and it will be another 19 years before it occurs again.
The December Full Moon is also known as the "Long Nights Moon" - it's energy encourages us to give thanks and to reflect upon the abundance of our hearth and home-fires. While Christmas may be a Christian Holiday, much of it's traditions, and even it's date, is based on the Pagan mid-winter Yule and Solstice festivals, as well as the Roman Saturnalia celebrations.
Many of us gather with friends and family at this time to share warmth, gifts, food, and gratitude, so take a moment to look up at Sister Moon later on this month, and reflect upon all the good, love, and abundance you have manifested over the past year.
