HOUSTON (FOX 26) - It hasn’t happened since 1977. But this year, the moon will be full on Christmas.

It will be full at 5:11 a.m. on December 25th, giving us our best view here in Texas on Christmas Eve night.

Perhaps Rudolph’s glowing red nose won’t be necessary to navigate the skies!

A Christmas full moon will not happen again until 2034.
