It didn’t happened for 38 years and will not happen again until 2034. Santa Claus this year will really bring us a gift on Christmas day; this year, the full moon of December will coincide exactly with the 25, making this day even more magical.
The last month of the year’s full moon is known as the cold moon. The culmination of the phenomenon is expected at Italian 12:15 but the day will be so short that we will see the full moon rise only a few hours after the climax.
From the scientific point of view the event is not particularly important, but it is a striking coincidence that will make Christmas Day really bright.
But where you can see even better this phenomenon of the sky? Here are 5 ideas for a Christmas with the full moon!
1. The full moon in the mountains
In the mountains the sky can be seen even better and in the mountain the most beautiful and suitable accommodations for Christmas are definitely the chalets. Discover here the best ones in Europe!
2. Among the wild parks of Casentino
In an fairytale environment, among enchanted forests and breathtaking waterfalls you can enjoy the wilderness of the Natural Park of the Casentino Forests between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. You could also hear the howling of wolves! Sleep at the entrance of the park at the Il Vecchio Comune Guest House.
