Blessings to you all!
New Year's Eve is never dull. But nights like tonight happen just once in a blue moon.
The term "blue moon" now refers to the second full moon in a month, but folklorists say the phrase has a long and rich history.

So while you're out carousing with friends or family, take a break from your champagne and noisemakers to look up at the night sky.
You may see the "blue moon," but you won't see the moon awash in the color blue.
The term "blue moon" generally refers to the second full moon in a month and occurs just once every 2.7 years. The last blue moon to shine on New Year's Eve was 19 years ago, in 1990.
