Last Full Moon of the Decade - Cold Moon

Last Full Moon of the Decade. December's full moon is marking the end of the decade in a unique way as it also happens to be the 12th day of the 12th month of the year. The full moon each December is sometimes known as the Cold Moon. But then, what is Cold Moon? When the winters set in, and in December there is a Full Moon, that phenomenon is called Cold Moon. It is also called December Cold Moon.

In India, most people are familiar with the Moon being fondly called our uncle - the proverbial 'Chanda Mama'. Mamaji this winter will go full becoming the Cold Moon, also the last Full Moon of the year, and also of the decade. Photos from our backyard by Tony Fernandes, a.k.a. 'TonFerns'. Luck was on my side to be able to photograph it, albeit slightly foggy, but cold night in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
