The full moon in December: The Full Cold Moon
The full moon heralding long, dark, cold nights ahead. Unquestionably the best sleeping moon of the year.
Acknowledgments
As always, my undying gratitude to my family and friends for their love, support, and patience. I’ll stop talking about barbecue now. I promise. And special thanks to Andrea Cirillo, Kelly Harms Wimmer, Shauna Summers, and Nita Taublib. This book would not have been possible without your input. I’d give you the moon, but you already gave it to me.
