A full moon next to Christmas tree lights in the night sky on Christmas Eve.


In 2015 for the first time in decades during the Christmas Holiday time the UK had a full moon. This photo was taken on Christmas Eve and everyone hoped the sky would remain clear once again on Christmas Day. The last time a full moon appeared on Christmas day was in 1977 and there won't be another one until 2034. The full moon, which is the last of the year, is called the Full Cold Moon.
