Full Moon which occures at 6:05 p.m. EST on the 28th is often referred to as “The Cold Moon”, but since it is close to Christmas, it could also qualify as this year’s “Yule Moon.”
With the exchanging of gifts at Christmas, the true meaning of the season is often forgotten as it has become so commercial. Let us not forget the greatest Gift of all that Mankind has ever received in a manger in Bethlehem.
Boxing Day: Follow the timehonored British tradition of giving gifts to tradespeople the first weekday following Christmas.
