We will all be celebrating the New Year tomorrow night. I wish you and your family a happy and prosperous year. But you could celebrate the New Year with a twist. On New Year's Eve we will also have a blue moon. Now of course the moon isn't colored blue, but it will be the second time this month that we've had a full moon. The first full moon occurred on December 2nd and the second on December 31st.


Blue Moon's only occur about every two and a half years. The last time a Blue Moon occurred on New Year's Eve was in 1990, and the next time it will occur will be in 2028!
