This is the last full moon of 2015 and the first full moon to occur on Christmas Day in 38 years which was in 1977, Jimmy Carter was President. The next full moon to occur on Christmas will be in 2034.

Full Cold Moon, Dec. 25, 3:11 a.m. PST —Among some tribes, this moon was called the Full Long Nights Moon. In this month, the winter cold fastens its grip, and the nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the “Moon before Yule” (Yule is Christmas, and this time the Moon is only just before it). The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long and the moon is above the horizon a long time. The midwinter full moon takes a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite to the low sun. The traditional full moon name for December is the “Cold Moon”. Other common names include the “Oak Moon”, “Christmas Moon” and the "Long Night Moon". This month is also “Moon before the Yule”. This name applies when the full Moon comes before Christmas. The Lakota Sioux called it the “Moon of the Popping Trees”. The Cheyenne named it the “Big Freezing Moon”. The Taos call it the “Night Moon” and to the Wisham it was “Her Winter Houses Moon”.
