Neighborhood Gifting

In Native American cultures which tracked the calendar by the moons, December’s full moon was known as the Full Cold Moon.  It is fittingly associated when winter cold fastens its grip and the nights become long and dark.

 

In 2018, the Cold Moon falls shortly after Friday’s winter solstice and the peak of the Ursid Meteor Shower.  This is a minor meteor shower, people should only expect to see a few shooting stars per hour.  December’s full moon is also called the Long Nights Moon because it typically occurs near winter solstice, the shortest day of the year.
