Well, it’s official I’m SENILE ….. it’s the only explanation This past Christmas Eve there was a full moon, a rare sight that happens rarely, the last one was in 1977 and the next one will be in 2034 I actually got lucky and got photos of the one in 2015. Do you remember Christmas 1977? Did you pay attention to the moons phase? I wish I had.

Well I must be going senile too . . . I thought we had a full moon every month! Christmas 1977 . . . I would have been 9 and my sister 2. I can picture our family Christmases, but not that particular one.

@rebelann [Smacking myself on the forehead]. Yes, I AM senile. I am just getting that you were making the point about a full moon ON Christmas. DUH . I definitely do not remember when there was a full moon on any particular holiday . . . but on Halloween it would be very cool (if it ever did happen)!

I'm assuming I'm senile right out of the gate so I don't even worry about stuff like this.

@rebelann The great thing about being senile is that you can say or do whatever you feel like and then claim you don't remember a thing.

Nope, I do not remember this or any other. I should. I should go moon watching much more often. I have plenty of sky to do it in.

I know what you mean, if not for the Web I wouldn't have thought to watch for moon phases.

No I don't think I paid attention to the moon phases.. I guess I was having too much fun.

Now that is a really good point @sofssu I can't recall being outside on Christmas eve when there was something going on at mom's. That's all changed now though, mom's gone and I don't like to party anymore.

I don't always pay attention to the moon because it is usually out of site from our balcony.

Plus you move around a lot so perhaps you are too busy loading or unloading to have the time to look for it, could that be?
