BLUE MOON

[MikeA]

Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve 2009.

Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't expect it to be blue — the name has nothing to do with the color of our closest celestial neighbor.

A full moon occurred on Dec. 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.

Yes, I heard that this morning as well. I understood the concept of a blue moon for years. The thing this morning was a 'Blue Moon New Year sale' in a well known music shop.

Enjoy the Blue Moon New Year

I'm probably better off in the States than Ireland then. I'm a horrible sucker for sales in Music Shops!
